HALT
ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»
From Kirill Frolov → To All 14 September 2000
Here someone was interested in how the subject works.
So the Z80 reads the COP in each cycle and resets the memory.
Only it doesn’t care about the COP, it ignores it and NOP
performs it. That's what it says in the Zilog manual. There
by the way, the 'bugs' of the processor are described, in fact these
are not bugs, but features. And there is not a word about SLI and halves IX and IY!

That's what I wrote... ;)
With respect, George aka -=GPV=-.

Once for reading a cop with a refresh.

I understand what’s wrong with the refresh, but why isn’t it painted? (c) :-)))
Once again: when executing the HALT command, R is incremented every 4 clock cycles? Or in
another way: reading a KOP with a refresh takes place in 4 bars?
With respect, Dmitriy.

No. It is incremented 1 time at the time of refresh.

Yes.
