It looks as though for the sake of accuracy I should change to the lower address. As Al (?) says, where this is called internally, $BBD4 is used. I haven't used F1 to F2 directly, as I regard that as 'internal' - I work with memory variables, using (A,Y) addressing. The code you want for the Commodore 'ASCII' to screen codes, Ray, starts at $E716. This is the start of the meat of the CHROUT routine after it has determined that the CMD device is the screen. It doesn't translate via lookup - it does bit-juggling. The fragment of interest is (char in A, then stored in $D7 temp): E723 LDA $D7 E725 BPL E72A E727 JMP E7D4 ; does something special if bit 7 set E72A CMP #$0D ; CR? E72C BNE E731 E72E JMP E891 ; end of line stuff E731 CMP #$20 E733 BCC E745 ; br if < space (checks control codes) E735 CMP #$60 E737 BCC E73D ; br if < [ (i.e. ! thru Z) E739 AND #$DF ; else clear bit 5 (chars [ thru ...) E73B BNE E73F ; (unconditional br, I guess) E73D AND #$3F ; clear bits 7,6 for ! thru Z E73F ... Heaven knows why they bother! By the way, you referred to your 4th article which I never received - we had trouble with our gateway a little while back. Perhaps you could re-post it, or if no-one else missed it, then please send it directly. Jeff.
