SWTPC SWTBUG® (SWATBUG) MONITOR ROM One of the features of the SWTPC 6800 Computer System is that the conventional programmer’s console has been replaced with a monitor ROM. The programmer’s console consists of all the pretty switches and lights often found on similar microcomputers that are used to bootstrap the system after power up. The programmer’s console not only raises the cost of the system, but more often than not is confusing and tedious to use for both be-ginning and experie

SWTBUG® INSTALLATION SWTBUG® is a MOS device and MOS integrated circuits are susceptible to damage by static electricity. Although some degree of protection is provided internally within the integrated circuits, their cost demands the utmost in care. Before opening and/or installing SWTBUG® you should ground your body and all metallic tools coming into contact with the leads, thru a 1M ohm ¼ watt resistor. The ground must be an “earth” ground such as a water pipe, and not the circuit board

MEMORY EXAMINE AND CHANGE M (addr) The Memory Examine and Change function can be used to enter machine code programs and to display and/or change the contents of memory. The Memory Examine and Change function should be used as follows: 1.) Type M. The computer should echo the M and output a space. 2.) Type in the four digit hexadecimal address that you wish to examine and/or change. The computer should respond with a carriage return, line feed, $, the address and the data that is stor

A previously set breakpoint will remain and may be changed or removed as described earlier. If, when using the B command, a non-hex value is entered the previous breakpoint will be removed and SWTBUG® control will resume. There are several things that one must be aware of when using breakpoints to insure proper operation. 1.) The breakpoint function uses the same locations as do vectored software interrupts; therefore, vectored software interrupts should not be used with break points.

VECTORED SOFTWARE INTERRUPTS Normally when encountering a SWI (3F) instruction, the computer will display the processor’s registers and SWTBUG® control will be resumed. If desired, the 3F command can be vectored to anywhere in memory, just like the NMI and IRQ interrupts. To use the vectoring capability simply store the service routine address at location A012-A013 in the SWTBUG® RAM. When a 3F is encountered, processor control will be transferred to the memory address stored in A012-A013.

PIA STROBING Use of the Control Interface for Read/Punch-On/Off Decoding SWTBUG® software contains subroutines to send out pulses to unused pins of the PIA integrated circuit on the MP-C serial control interface that can be used for automatic reader / punch controls. These pulses can be used if you are using a SWTPC AC-30 cassette interface and a terminal in which access to the control command decoding is denied. If you intend to use the read/punch control logic output on the MP-C contr

OPERATING THE MP-A PROCESSOR BOARD AT BAUD RATES HIGHER THAN 1200 BAUD When using the MP-S serial interface with an MP-A processor board, baud rate clocks for up to 9600 baud are available from the baud rate generator on the MP-A processor board. The table below shows the baud rates available and from which pin of IC4 on the MP-A board they are derived. These 16X baud rate clocks are best feed back to the interface boards via the user defined lines provided on the mother board. These baud

NOTE: This does not mean that SWTBUG® is equipped with a binary loader-only certain SWTPC binary tapes that contain a special binary loader (in ASCII) will work correctly. To load the tape simply follow the instructions given for loading an ASCII tape, but keep the reader locked on. SPECIAL NOTES ON USING AN ACIA AND PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS Many available 6800 programs written for MIKBUG® assume that a PIA type MP-C control interface is being used and may address this port directly.

GENERAL RULES FOR PROGRAM WRITING Although for a user program to be functional it need only work with the exact system it was written for, following a few simple rules reduces program modifications for 6800 systems using other monitors. Following these rules will make your programs more professional and versatile. Some general guidelines are as follows: 1.) Minimize the number of references made to the ROM. 2.) Do not use strange, in-between SWTBUG® addresses. Generally only the routines

INHEX and INCH, temporary storage locations CKSM and both accumulators. If a non-hex value is entered, SWTBUG® control will resume. When BYTE is called as a subroutine, the computer will wait for two hex characters to be entered thru the control port.

CONTRL (E0E3) This MIKBUG® equivalent sequence again resets the stack to A042. PORECH is cleared to enable echo and the subroutine SAVGET is selected to get the correct port number and type. Next, the routines PNCHOF and RDOFF generate punch and reader off commands. A carriage return, line feed, erase to end of line (15 ) and a $ is then output to the control terminal. 16 At this point SWTBUG® is ready for command input.

IOUT (E240) IOUT is the PIA output routine which outputs the character in the A accumulator. OPTL (E269) OPTL is the service routine that sets up PORECH for I/O on port 0. The appropriate command P, E or L is then selected. PIAECH (E27D) This routine disables the echo on a PIA type interface. PIAINI (E284) This routine is used to initialize PIA type interfaces.
