83Plus:Ports:04
Contents
Synopsis
Port Number: 04h
Function: Interrupting Device Identification and Memory Map Control
This port serves two purposes. When read it indicates the device that triggered an interrupt. When written it sets the memory map mode.
Read Values
- ...Someone else can do this
Write Values
- Bit 0 reset to select memory map mode 0. In mode 0 the RAM and ROM is mapped to CPU memory as follows:
- Bit 0 set to select memory map mode 1. In mode 1 the RAM and ROM is mapped to CPU memory as follows:
Bits 4~6 should be 1 on the 83+ and 83+SE, and 0 on the 84+ and 84+SE.
Comments
The calculator uses mode 0 for normal operation. If you change the memory map mode be sure to change it back before returning control. Also, do not switch from mode 0 to mode 1 inside the 4000h ~ 7FFFh range, as it will basically crash the calculator because RAM Page 0 will take over that section and RAM Page 0 cannot execute code.
Example
This example shows successful use of this port, switching to mode 1 and back. Mode 1 is the only way to execute code beyond address C000h on the 83+ Basic.
