ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»

From Renat Mamedov To All 26 May 1998


Greetings, Denis!

Andrey Isaev lied here for Denis Dmitriev, and I
will teach you how to lie!

AI> Ha! the first one was started not by him, but by the company that produced Profi, and
AI> I have such a copy, I had a watch even before
AI> Gluck started making his own, and it was he who did everything
AI> in his own way, not me.
DD> So, couldn’t you say earlier? While the scheme for ports
DD> was being redone.
AI> But there was no need to say this, because the clock there is made stupidly
AI> and conflicts with the rat.

I ask gentlemen of the jury to pay attention to this phrase ^^^^:)

DD> No, I can’t do that - and how can I now support the clock -
DD> in the
DD> config click the subject interface?
AI> Even I don’t know:(

Such watches as Isaev’s are only owned by him. And it’s unlikely
who else will make them.

DD> Personally, I am for the standards that have already been established and embodied in
DD> circuits/boards, that is, for Pros. But there is no circuit diagram, and it is unlikely
DD> this
DD> option will not be with conflict with Pentagon ports.

And not only with Pnevsky ones. Look below the addresses :))))

DD> What are we going to decide, how to work with the subject more normally?
AI> The only request is to store the time in the clock not in
AI> binary-decimal form as Gluck suggested, but just in
AI> binary, and then make them work on Profi
AI>It will be a matter of minutes, you will need to change the addresses of
AI> ports, and you can use my
AI> time setter.

About the installer - I made it for my watch two weeks ago, and Isaev knew very well about it. In addition, this installer gave me a couple of interesting ideas...
And you need to store the data in the way that is most convenient. For constant
time output, it is MUCH easier to work with binary-decimal
data than with binary... Faster - accordingly, however
if you use tables, then it won’t slow down... :)))

And finally, who is the only one who wrote software for the clock???

Who the hell is interested in support? extinct pro??? If only
to do it so that Isaev could then painlessly redo it?

DD> PS: since everything is wrong with Profi, maybe you can give a description of how to
DD> pester the clock?
AI> Same as to those but on other ports:
AI>
AI> ld bc,#7ffd
AI> ld a,#10
AI> out (c),a
AI> ld b,#df
AI> ld a,#20
AI> out (c),a
AI>
AI> After that port #00ff the address register, and the port #00df
AI> data register.

And this is not a perversion????
I forgot to say that you still need to recode the numbers :))))

Be healthy!
Renat Mamedov

From Kirill Frolov To All 26 May 1998

So I propose the scheme from ZXNEWS for two reasons:

1. There are fewer glitches in tr-dos and therefore there are fewer glitches.
2. I have...

There is also the most difficult question - in what format (binary-decimal or binary) is the time stored in the clock? IMHO
it’s better in BCD - you can quickly convert to BIN and also
quickly into ASCII, unlike BIN.

Hello, Denis!
23 May 98 Denis Dmitriev was pinching in the hope that Andrey
Isaev would read about CMOS again, I read it and decided
to answer:

RM> You said it yourself: in Profi, clock ports conflict with
RM> ports
RM> M-mice! Or do you have no mouse - no problem? :)
AI> I have a mouse and, accordingly, there was also a problem (there was one),
AI> but I have nothing against Gluck ports, but how it
AI> stores time in a watch does not suit me specifically.
DD> Is it possible in another way, on the same microphone?
DD> Ana, please explain, I'm confused: - L
in register #0b, the 2nd bit is responsible for the format in which the time is stored 0- binary decimal 1- binary. Renat has 0 there and in Profi 1 and if I dealt with
port addresses without damage to CP/M, then this is so bad, you need either
one or the other, but all together and the hell will come out at once.


Sincerely, Andrey.

... The hedgehog is a proud bird: you won’t kick it will fly!

From Renat Mamedov To All 27 May 1998

The microcircuit is smart - as you order it, so it will be.
And the fact that Isaev doesn’t like it - he will have to mutilate the software for his own
[expleted language] ports will have to be more difficult :).
And if you really need it, this mode is determined programmatically,
so the driver can be universal, then you need it
there will be one 5026/18.42 :))))
And if you want to fuck with data translation, make a binary
system...


I recommend it to everyone read the doc. Only it is on the server
it’s buggy and has errors :))) I’ve already prepared a new one...
I’ll upload it.

Be healthy!

Great, Renat!

RM> Only he himself has a watch like Isaev’s. And

Ah, well then it’s clear. for some reason I decided that this was the Professional standard...

RM> And finally, who is the only one who has written software for the clock???
Well... let's say ;)

RM> And this is not a perversion????

You are still suggesting it, but it has been working properly for me
for six months now, if not more. Glyukov (except for me :) did not observe.
And if it’s from typdos, it needs to be mutilated again...
in a (c)/ret... and so - soldered it and use it, even from the bass :)))

With both hands!!! I know right away who will object :))))

psi. And in general, this conversation began with the fact that DD does not know
how to write hours in the menon...
I suggest: a replacement driver:

start - reading from the register
start+3 - writing to the register

When the clock #11 is not the number #AA in the cell, consider the clock
missing.

In general, mono collect all the options and make a self-configuring driver...

This is just funny! St. Petersburg alone has several standards!
And Nemo does it to spite Zonov, right? ;) Hardmakers are stingy, and the users' forelocks are flying!
: E~~
Smuk, it seems, is an established standard.
Well, let them sort it out among themselves...
I have Pent, and their fight doesn’t bother me.

Pros understand, it’s a dead office, as far as I’m concerned I know. Watches in Profi
are rare and unfortunate. You can easily and painlessly convert it into
Glitch. IMHO! - maybe someone uses the local CPU/M. :)

“Glitch” is for the Pentagon (or will you order Smuk to buy?! =).
It was discussed here, too lazy to repeat.

What is ZXNEWS?! And *MAS*?! Are these computers like that? I haven't
heard about them!

Of course you can, read register #0b and look at the second bit and if it is equal to 0 then
the time is in binary decimal format, and if it’s something else then in
binary.

You are right that they are unsuccessful, but I’m not sure about the rare ones, all boards starting from 4.0 were equipped with a clock.

RM> You can easily and painlessly convert

RM> “Glitch”. IMHO! - maybe someone uses the local CPU/M. :)
It’s easy and painless to do this anyway, there’s a decoder built on RT’s, and
and IMHO everyone uses the CPU/M here because It’s much more convenient to type texts there than
here, and the programmer there is normal, at least I haven’t met anything more normal, well, in short, I won’t describe all its advantages, but believe me that
many people use it.

RM> And what is ZXNEWS?! And *MAS*?! Are these computers like that? But I haven’t

ZxNews was such a newspaper in St. Petersburg;) you yourself told me about this number.

Once again: FROM bcd to bin it is VERY possible to recode FAST.
On the contrary - problems. It is necessary to divide, which takes a LOT of time.
Since data very often needs to be output in ASCII form, then
it is more advisable to store it in a clock in BCD format - from it you can
convert it to ASCII FASTER.

Throw it in.
Just one request - can I have a diagram in the text? with placed

I agree.
But for greater compatibility there will be an auto-detection and accordingly
the driver will issue/receive information in _ASCII_ format!
and with the clock it will fit... ;)

the Scorpa board. I thought it was ripped out of SMUK. But it turns out there is a _separate_
standard!

YOU ARE A MIRACLE! ;-)))

all ZxNews, or just the article itself about CMOS?

here’s a piece about CMOS

=======================================================================
Connecting to a computer
──────────────────────────

It is necessary to connect the AD0...AD7 signals to the processor data bus.
Connect the /RES (18) signal to /RESET processor (26th pin)

The remaining pins - AS, R/W, /DS need to be connected to address decoders.

Signal state
──────────────────

AS R/W /DC
nothing 0 1 1
select register number 1 1 1
read from register 0 1 0
write to register 0 0 1


For example, on the yellow Scorpio board, pins AS, /DS, R/W signals
can be supplied from m/s D54:

D54/13 through an inverter to AS
D54/11 to /DS
D54/15 on R/W

In this case, the CMOS clock port addresses will be located in the TR-DOS area.

With this switching scheme, only bits 1 and 7 are analyzed, but to
avoid conflicts with other ports, such port addresses are recommended

Selecting register #D8
Reading from register #58
Writing to register#58
=========================================================================

And now I’m just using other addresses
Selecting the #FFF9 register
Reading from the #FF79 register
Writing to the #FF79 register

But since only bits 1 and 7 are analyzed, there is no
“new” option! or
I didn’t understand my answer about “soft” decryption...

2KF: I’ll explain it popularly

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 <- these are the bit numbers
#D8 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 #F9 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 <- these are the addresses

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 <- these are the bit numbers
#58 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 #79 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 <- these are the addresses

Simply with addresses #FFF9 and #FF79 I will 100% not break into anything!

Great, Renat!

RM> start - reading from the register
RM> start+3 - writing to the register
RM>
RM> If the number #AA is not in the clock cell #11, consider

Is it stitched there, in the clock?
Or is it entered programmatically? If it's programmatic, then how can I put it there if the program immediately determines that there is no clock? you can
blindly push it into that register, and then see whether it has been stuffed
or not - that's autoconfig for you :)

In general, since the clocks can be different, I will make a driver
with functions not for writing/reading a register, but for immediately writing/reading
time (transferring time to registers in BCD format or via a stack or
pointer in ASCII form - I haven’t decided yet).

With best regards, Denis.

During my watch childhood... In general, even if

do not see them - for example, isdos when working with Mysdos

Sometimes the clock can just glitch :(

there are such days, in which are ordinary gaskets...
Sometimes the microcircuit is not ready to transfer data during
second updates. The driver on im2 will begin to slow down.
Therefore, it is best to skip unaccepted data.

That's it.

And the bcd format is mandatory - everyone understands this except Isaev,
even in Montana they store it this way :)))

Although a universal driver will not be much more complicated than a special one. You just need to decide how the program will determine the clock circuit. I would suggest looking into cell #11 when you first start (if I'm not mistaken). The glitch puts the number there
#AA.
You can keep #55 there, for example. And depending on this value, immediately
reconfigure the driver. And if there is #FF, be sure to display the inscription “Set the clock!” - this is very important! :)

Great, Roman!

RM> And if there is #FF - be sure
RM> to display the inscription “Set the clock!” - this is very important! :)

Yeah, "Please, insert CMOS chip and press any key" ;)

RM> through a separate port, like an electronic drive, and be sure to
RM> make it smarter. Can it be substituted by a page not
RM> with #C000, but with #0000?

By the way, there are no sims.
Or rather, about additional memory addressing ports.
there is an option to use all eight bits of the Profi expansion port
#DFFD (you don’t need to invent a separate port, and you can address
a decent amount of memory), or use a separate port
for memory expansion. if the second option, then I want to offer
a series of ports #AxF7 (16 or 32 ports, as you like :), while
the port address decoder is the same as for #eff7 and subject ports (mmma
ID7).

Well, and finally, does anyone have a ready-made one? Sims wiring diagram? with
regeneration, etc.?
We couldn’t find one in Kharkov, so a trial
version was developed that uses internal regeneration of
sims; contains <10 small microcircuitslogic, works together with the main
memory; or you can put simm 512k instead of RU7 ;). The scheme was developed by
Konstantin Kovernikov (Evil Genius).

If there is no ready-made scheme and ours will work, then
I will definitely post it here. Now we have the most “fundamental” problem - which
port should we allocate memory expansion to?

With best regards, Denis.

br...
I don’t understand
how the _contents_ of the _CMOS_ cell will help you determine
_the_connection_scheme_?

After all, in order to read data from the CMOS you need to know
its connection diagram, and if you know the circuit, then why
determine it (the circuit) by the contents of the CMOS?
(that’s what he said! ;-)

v driver for MMD 4.00 I used the simplest option:
I read the contents of all _hour_ registers, and if all data
(hours/min/sec/day/month/year) are _real_, then there is a clock!
If at least something is wrong (for example 66seconds) - no clock.

Look. At the first start, the program reads cell #11 on the Glitch ports, if

Depending on the results, the driver is modified. Oh, yes, you can keep #AA there for both

There are two ID7s, which have “free” ports.
One “stands” with TR-DOS, the second is “regular”
Ha"normal" there are the following free ports:

address 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
--------------------------
0 1 0 0
0 1 1 0
1 1 0 0

The remaining bits are not analyzed. Moreover, these addresses are simply
access to a port, without division into writing/reading.

And in TR-DOS ID7 there are such “ports”

address 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
--------------------------
0 0 write
1 0 write
0 0 read
1 0 read

So you don’t even need to “add” by OR
"SELECT ADDRESS" and "RECORD" / "READ"

As you can see, connecting the clock requires current
one inverter...
So this is the _only_ advantage of connecting
this clock for _scorpio_...

RM> I threw out my own version of this scheme, did you see it?
RM> There is no difference between Penta and Scorpio.

Whoa! but ours is sharpened, and therefore there is no need for mikruh...

RM> And then you can’t count the body directly here. There is ID7 - an address
decoder

universal...

sorry, port #EFF7 - what kind of universal is this?
I don’t have anything connected to it... ;-)))
Yes, we have this port finally no...
What's hanging on it?

wow!

From Aleksandr Majorov To All 20 June 1998

RM> And in Penta, initially, there was no such port either, until people began to install it!

And _what_ am I going to hang on it?
only one watch?

We don’t have those bells and whistles that you hang on this port...
and besides, we have a more accepted method of not soldering
microphones on a computer, but sticking a scarf into the connector...

RM>> I think it would be interesting to use this output...
RM>> Add it to NMI...

AM>> yeah, don’t forget the interrupt manager ;-))))

RM> ?!! This is probably some kind of 40-legged boar? A? ;)

580ВH59, 28 legs

in a nutshell: there are 8 interrupt request legs,
and when an interrupt is requested, the chip issues an interrupt to the processor and
after which it can “push” a CALL command with the address to it...
But this is suitable for a regular interrupt, in IM1 mode...

And NMI simply jumps to #0066...

[ ]

AM>> where does int go from Hayes? ;-)))

RM> So I also have “magic” coming from the controller there! ;)

please! don’t be confused!
magic has its own “dispatcher”, it first turns on
TR-DOS ROM, and only then gives NMI, so the percentage jumps to #0066
in TR-DOS!

One day on 06/20/98 at 23:48:00 someone Aleksandr Majorov wrote to Roman Milukov
about cmos again and I decided to intervene.

├┤i Aleksandr & Roman !

AM> and _what_ will I put on it?
AM> only one watch?

For example, I have one the extended screen hangs. And I’ll also “hang” a lot of things there
.

AM> and besides, we have adopted a more accepted method of not soldering

However, there’s nothing to stick in. And there is no connector. You can’t stick yourself into something like that.

GS/XTR is not enough. The rest is explicit MD.

It's a pity.

Can it be made FTN-compatible?


All the best.

From Roman Milukov To All 23 June 1998

AM> wow! but with us it is imprisoned, and therefore there is no need for mikruh...
And this is a “+” in your opinion? ^^^^^^^ :) IMHO - "-"!
Well, it’s good that you don’t need any micro devices anymore.

AM> sorry, port #EFF7 - what kind of universal is this?
AM> I don’t have anything connected to it... ;-)))

So I said “universal”, not “standard”! Although many people have already made it, and you can consider it standard, but the fact that there is nothing on it in your
computer... you probably consider port #1FFD standard? And I have nothing on it! ;)

AM> Yes, we don’t have this port anymore...
AM> And what’s hanging on it?

It’s not “hanging”, but it’s working. :) I already wrote about 512*192.

From Roman Milukov To All 23 June 1998

AM> 580ВH59, 28 legs

Yeah. Or 1810. Let's also hook up VK37 (VT57) for DDP, VM89, etc... :)

AM> But this is suitable current for a regular interruption, in
AM> IM1 mode...

When everyone has a bunch of interrupt-generating devices, then we will
install VH59. In the meantime, well...

AM> And NMI just jumps to #0066...

So what? After all, from there a transition is made (if the byte in the “old” ROM is corrected!) to the address specified in #5CB0/B1! Wherever you want, send it there. The main thing is to know
in advance
where the interruption will come from - from haes or from the clock.

AM> yay! don't be confused!

Yes, I was joking! ;)

AM> "magic" has its own kind of "dispatcher", it first
AM> turns on
AM> TR-DOS ROM, and only then gives NMI, so the percent jumps to
AM> #0066 in TR-DOS!

TR-DOS is of no use to us here. :)


All the best.

_what_ and _when_?

KF> However, there’s nothing to stick. And there is no connector. You can’t plug it into something like that.

well, that’s probably your problem?
I didn’t have a connector either, I needed it and it appeared!

There’s nothing to plug it in?
GS, XTR, SMUC, we plug in HDD, HAYES - not enough???

KF> GS/XTR is not enough. The rest is obvious MD.

and I can say that your load on this port
called “extended screen” is MD
and since it’s MD, then why do I need it?
It’s also logical?

and for some reason people plug in something else...
(list above) rather than collect what _you_ consider not MD.

For some reason people prefer to use editors under 64 characters,
rather than go into the computer and assemble some kind of expansion scheme,
for which there is also nothing...
(the situation is similar to the spring, see .general)
