83Plus:Ports:06

Synopsis

Port Number: 06h

Function: Flash/RAM Memory Paging (Bank A)

This port controls what page is swapped into Memory Bank A (see comments).

Read Values

• The current port mapped to Memory Bank A.
  • 83+ Basic: If a RAM page is swapped in, the port reads the RAM page number with bit 6 set. If a ROM page is swapped in, the port reads the ROM page number with bit 6 reset.
  • 83+ Silver, any 84+: If a RAM page is swapped in, the port reads the RAM page number with bit 7 set. If a ROM page is swapped in, the port reads the ROM page number with bit 7 reset.

Write Values

• The page number to swap into Memory Bank A (see comments).
  • 83+ Basic: If bit 6 is set, bit 0 will choose between the two RAM pages (40h or 41h). If bit 6 is 0, bits 0~4 select a page from ROM (00h through 1Fh).
  • 83+ SE, 84+ (any): If bit 7 is set, bits 0~2 will choose any of the 8 RAM pages (80h through 87h). If bit 7 is 0, bits 0~5 on the 84+ Basic, or bits 0~6 on either SE will select a page from ROM (00h through 3Fh or 7Fh).

Comments

In normal circumstances this controls the page at address 4000h. The behavior of this port changes in different memory map modes. See Port 04h for details about memory map modes.

Example

push af
in a,(6)
push af
ld a,1
out (6),a
; do stuff that needs page 1 swapped in
pop af
out (6),a
pop af
