There's a fellow in our local club that uses a
SuperController II, and has a SmartWatch installed in its ROM
socket. He has a question concerning the dri.ers found in
SWCLOC.AR in Lib 10 her on CI$. All of the drivers and programs
in the ARchive are slot-specific which seems to mean that they
assume that an MPI is plugged into the system. However, since
he doesn't use an MPI (the SCII handles his HD, FD, and RS-232),
he's wondering if it even matters which SWClock driver, SetClk,
GetClk program he uses in his system.
The only differences that I've been able to find among the
like modules contained in the ARchive (besides the CRCs) are the
slot select codes. For instance, the module SWCLOCK4 has,
starting at 1EB, an 8633 (LDA immediate) followed by a B7FF7F
(STA), and SWCLOCK3 has an 8622 followed by the POKE (STA) that
actually does the slot select.
Since the B7FF7F is addressing the Slot Select byte that
only means something if an MPI is plugged in, would it be
necessary to NOP the 86xxB7FF7F instruction sequence with
1212121212, if no MPI is plugged into the CoCo?
