^FDC Programming Considerations

%    Three phases of command execution:

    1.  Command phase; commands are sent from the CPU to the FDC via
        port 3F5h;    bit 6 of the Status Register at 3F4h must be zero
    2.  Execution phase; FDC executes instruction & generates INT 6
    3.  Result phase; status and other information is available to CPU;
        INT 6 sets bit 7 of BIOS Data Area location 40:3E which can
        be polled for completion status


%    Example of a read operation:

    1. turn disk motor on and set delay time for drive spin up
    2. perform seek operation;  wait for disk interrupt
    3. prepare DMA chip to move data to memory
    4. send read command and wait for transfer complete interrupt
    5. read status information
    6. turn disk motor off

    64h  read   8042 status register. Can be read at any time.  See
            table above for more information.
    64h  write  8042 command register.  Writing this port sets Bit 3
            of the status register to 1 and the byte is treated
            as a controller command.  Devices attached to the
            8042 should be disabled before issuing commands that
            return data since data in the output register will
            be overwritten.
    60h  read   8042 output register (should only be read if Bit 0 of
            status port is set to 1)
    60h  write  8042 data register.  Data should only be written if
            Bit 1 of the status register is zero (register is empty).
            When this port is written Bit 3 of the status register
            is set to zero and the byte is treated as a data.  The
            8042 uses this byte if it's expecting data for a previous
            command, otherwise the data is written directly to the
            keyboard.    See ~KEYBOARD COMMANDS~ for information on
            programming the actual keyboard hardware.

          Bits should be pulsed; 0=pulse, 1=don't pulse; pulsing
          Bit 0 results in CPU reset since it is connected to system
          reset line.

    - PC systems previous to the AT use the 8255 PPI as a keyboard
      controller and use the keyboard's internal 8048.
    - the keyboard's internal controller buffers up to 16 bytes of
      make/break code information.    This is common among all PC systems
      and shouldn't be confused with the (32 byte) keyboard buffer
      maintained by the BIOS.

     └─────────── 1 = 16550 PE/FE/Break in FIFO queue, 0 for 8250 & 16450

    - Bit 0 is set when a byte is placed in the Receiver Buffer Register
      and cleared when the byte is read by the CPU (or when the CPU
      clears the FIFO for the 16550).  Results in Receive Data Available
      Interrupts if enabled.
    - Bits 1-4 indicate errors and result in Line Status Interrupts
      if enabled.
    - Bit 1 is set when a second byte is received before the byte
      in the Receiver Buffer Register is read by the CPU (the 16550 in
      FIFO mode sets this bit when the queue is full and the byte in the
      Receiver Shift Register hasn't been moved into the queue).  This
      bit is reset when the CPU reads the LSR
    - Bit 2 is set whenever a byte is received that doesn't match the
      requested parity.  Reset upon reading the LSR.  (The 16550 maintains
      parity information with each byte and sets bit 2 only when the byte
      is at the top of the FIFO queue.)
    - Bit 3 is set when a character is received without proper stop
      bits.  Upon detecting a framing error the UART attempts to
      resynchronize.  Reset by reading the LSR.  (The 16550 maintains
      this information with each byte and sets bit 3 only when the byte
      is at the top of the FIFO queue.)
    - Bit 4 is set when a break condition is sensed (when space is
      detected for longer than 1 fullword).  A zero byte is placed in
      the Receiver Buffer Register (or 16550 FIFO).  Reset by reading
      the LSR.  (The 16550 maintains this information with each byte and
      sets bit 4 only when the byte is at the top of the FIFO queue.)
    - Bit 5 is set when the Transmit Holding Register shifts a byte
      into the Transmit Shift Register (or XMIT FIFO queue is empty for
      16550) and is cleared when a byte is written to the THR (or the
      XMIT FIFO).    Results in Transmit Holding Register Empty interrupts
      if enabled.
    - Bit 6 is set when both the Transmitter Holding Register and the
      Transmitter Shift Register are empty. On the 16550, when the XMIT
      FIFO and Transmitter Shift Register are empty.
    - Bit 7 is 16550 specific and indicates there is a byte in the FIFO
      queue that was received with a Parity, Framing or Break error.

^Port 3FF/2FF - Scratch Pad Register  (read/write)

%    Programming considerations:
    - 8250's, 16450's are essentially identical to program
    - 16550's is pin and software compatible with the 16450 but has an
      internal FIFO queue that may be enabled/disabled by software
    - PCs are capable of 38.4Kb, while AT's are capable of 115.2Kb
    - receiver checks only the first stop bit of each character regardless
      of the number of stop bits specified
    - Older 8250 and 16450 UARTs may lose THRE interrupt if the THRE and
      Receive Data (RD) or the Line Status (LS) interrupts occur
      simultaneously during a full duplex transmission.  RD and LS have
      higher priority than THRE which causes the lower priority interrupt
      to be lost.  The following are 3 methods used to avoid this problem:

      1. Disable/re-enable THRE interrupt via the IER after processing
         Receive Data & Line Status interrupts.
      2. While inside the RD and LS interrupt routines check the LSR
         THRE bit and set a flag that a THRE interrupt was waiting.
      3. Poll the LSR THRE bit instead of using the IRR.

    - data loss can occur without overrun or framing errors if the
      interrupts are serviced too slowly
    - reserved bits are usually set to zero.  Code should NOT rely on
      this being the case since future enhancement may use these bits

    - the 8253 is used on the PC & XT, while the 8254 is used on the AT+
    - all counters are decrementing and fully independent
    - the PIT is tied to 3 clock lines all generating 1.19318 MHz.
    - the value of 1.19318MHz is derived from (4.77/4 MHz) and has it's
      roots based on NTSC frequencies
    - counters are 16 bit quantities which are decremented and then
      tested against zero.    Valid range is (0-65535).  To get a value
      of 65536 clocks you must specify 0 as the default count since
      65536 is a 17 bit value.
    - reading by latching the count doesn't disturb the countdown but
      reading the port directly does; except when using the 8254 Read
      Back Command
    - counter 0 is the time of day interrupt and is generated
      approximately 18.2 times per sec.  The value 18.2 is derived from
      the frequency 1.10318/65536 (the normal default count).
    - counter 1 is normally set to 18 (dec.) and signals the 8237 to do
      a RAM refresh approximately every 15µs
    - counter 2 is normally used to generate tones from the speaker
      but can be used as a regular counter when used in conjunction
      with the 8255
    - newly loaded counters don't take effect until after a an output
      pulse or input CLK cycle depending on the mode
    - the 8253 has a max input clock rate of 2.6MHz, the 8254 has max
      input clock rate of 10MHz

%    Programming considerations:

      1.  load Mode Control Register
      2.  let bus settle (jmp $+2)
      3.  write counter value
      4.  if counter 0 is modified, an INT 8 handler must be written to
          call the original INT 8 handler every 18.2 seconds.  When it
          does call the original INT 8 handler it must NOT send and EOI
          to the ~8259~ for the timer interrupt, since the original INT 8
          handler will send the EOI also.

%    Other Registers

    IRR - Interrupt Request Register, maintains a bit vector indicating
          which IRQ hardware events are awaiting service.    Highest
          level interrupt is reset when the CPU acknowledges interrupt.
    ISR - In Service Register, tracks IRQ line currently being serviced.
          Updated by EOI command.


^Hardware Interrupt Sequence of Events:

    1. 8259 ~IRQ~ signal is raised high by hardware setting the
       corresponding IRR bits true.

    2. PIC evaluates the interrupt requests and signals the CPU
       where appropriate.

    3. CPU acknowledges the INT by pulsing INTA (inverted)

    4. INTA signal from CPU is received by the PIC, which then sets the
       highest priority ISR bit, and clears the corresponding IRR bit

    5. CPU sends a second INTA pulse which causes the PIC to send the
       interrupt ID byte onto the bus.  CPU begins interrupt processing.

    6. Interrupts of lower and equal priority are blocked until a
       Non-Specific EOI (20h) is sent to the command port.


^Initialization Procedure

%    Initialization
     1. write ICW1 to port 20h
     2. write ICW2 to port 21h
     3. if ICW1 bit D1=1  do nothing
        if ICW1 bit D1=0  write ICW3 to port 20h
     4. write ICW4 to port 21h
     5. OCW's can follow in any order


^8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller Notes

    - Operation Command Word (OCW), commands that set the 8259 in
      various interrupt modes.  These can be written to the 8259
      anytime after initialization.
    - The 8259 differentiates between the OCW1, OCW2 and OCW3 by the
      port address and the value of the data bits D4 and D3.  ICW2
      through ICW4 are order related and must follow ICW1.    ICW1 is
      identified by an even port number and data bit D4 set to 1.
    - PCs operate in fully nested mode, where a Non-Specific EOI resets
      the interrupt identified by the highest bit value in the ISR
    - 8259s can be chained together where the INT pin (output) of a
      slave 8259 can be used as the input to an IRQ line allowing up
      to 64 priority vectored interrupts.  AT level machines use two
      8259's for a total of 16 hardware interrupt levels
    - the first 8259 ports are located at 20h and 21h
    - the second 8259 ports are located at A0h and A1h
    - PC and AT interrupts are Edge Triggered while PS/2's are Level
      Triggered
    - some ASIC chips designed for Tandy 1000 Systems malfunction if
      specific and non-specific EOIs are mixed
    - for a more in-depth discussion of the 8259, see Intel's "Micro-
      processor and Peripherals Handbook, Volume I"

%    Programming Considerations:

    Write CMOS address to read or write to port 70h
    Read/write port 71h to get/set data


    - the information here is only applicable to AT and PS/2 systems
    - INT 1A is used to read/set the Time of Day and Alarm.  To use the
      alarm, INT 4A must be a valid interrupt service routine.
    - configuration settings are maintained using the Motorola MC146818
      Real Time Clock.  Each of this chips 64 memory registers is used
      for storage (0-3F).
    - Bit 5 of the diagnostic (0Eh) status byte is set during a power
      on test.  This Bit is set if no floppy disks are found or the
      display doesn't match the system display switch setting.
    - all addresses sent to port 70h have Bits 7&6 clear since Bit 7
      of port 70h is used to enable/disable NMI.  Setting this Bit 7
      enables NMI, clearing this Bit disables NMI.
    - when masking the NMI through using port 70H, port 71H should be
      read immediately after or the RTC may be left in an unknown state.
      This wont affect the PS/2 watchdog timer or system channel timeout.

    - STnn indicates Seagate ST412/ST506 compatible
    - 3½ indicates 3.5 inch half height drive
    - 5¼ indicates 5.25 inch half height drive
    - FH indicates Full Height 5.25 inch drive
    - 'u' in filesize indicates unformatted spec
    - formatted capacity is related to BIOS and may vary with different
      BIOS and OEM versions
    - read/write heads should normally never touch hard disk media
    - standard AT hard disk controllers do not use DMA for disk I/O due
      to the slow speed of the 8 Bit DMA chips used;  Port I/O is used
      instead for an actual increase in performance
    - with some XT and ESDI systems it is necessary to use debug to
      execute the ROM disk format code;  The usual method is to set
      AH=Drive, AL=Interleave and jump to the code at C800:5 via the
      G =C800:5 command (some systems locate this code at C600:5, CA00:5
      and CC00:5)
    - DOS version and disk size determine cluster size;   DOS 2.x always
      has cluster size of 8K, while DOS 3.x+ has variable cluster sizes:

            2 - 16  Mb partitions have a cluster size of 8K
           16 - 128 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 2K
          128 - 256 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 4K
          256 - 512 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 8K

^Hayes Compatible Modem Registers

    Not all modems support all of these registers and some modems have
    registers other than those listed here.  Also note, some are read only.

    to set a register use:        AT Sr=##  (cr)
    to read the register:        AT Sr?     (cr)

    Where "r" is the register and (cr) is a carriage return

    - bits 3-0 are resistive inputs with the length of the pulse
      determined by 0-100K ohm resistive load.   Use this formula:

%    time = 24.2µ + ( 0.011µ * resistance )
    or
%    resistance = ( time - 24.2 ) / 0.011


    - a read should be immediately preceded by a write (any data)
      to start timing for the resistive values.

^Keyboard Commands & Responses

^Commands System Issues to Keyboard (via 8042 port 60h)

    ED  Set/Reset Mode Indicators, keyboard responds with ACK then
        waits for a following option byte.    When the option byte is
        received the keyboard again ACK's and then sets the LED's
        accordingly.  Scanning is resumed if scanning was enabled.
        If another command is received instead of the option byte
        (high bit set on) this command is terminated.  Hardware
        defaults to these indicators turned off.

        │7-3│2│1│0│ Keyboard Status Indicator Option Byte
          │  │ │ └─── Scroll-Lock indicator  (0=off, 1=on)
          │  │ └──── Num-Lock indicator  (0=off, 1=on)
          │  └───── Caps-Lock indicator  (0=off, 1=on)
          └─────── reserved (must be zero)

    EE  Diagnostic Echo, keyboard echoes the EE byte back to the system
        without an acknowledgement.
    F0  PS/2 Select/Read Alternate Scan Code Sets, instructs keyboard
        to use one of the three make/break scan code sets.     Keyboard
        responds by clearing the output buffer/typematic key and then
        transmits an ACK.  The system must follow up by sending an
        option byte which will again be ACK'ed by the keyboard:

          00  return byte indicating scan code set in use
          01  select scan code set 1  (used on PC & XT)
          02  select scan code set 2
          03  select scan code set 3

    F2  PS/2 Read Keyboard ID, keyboard responds with an ACK and a two
        byte keyboard ID of 83AB.
    F3  Set Typematic Rate/Delay, keyboard responds with ACK and waits
        for rate/delay byte.   Upon receipt of the rate/delay byte the
        keyboard responds with an ACK, then sets the new typematic
        values and scanning continues if scanning was enabled.

        │7│6│5│4│3│2│1│0│  Typematic Rate/Delay Option Byte
         │ │ │ ├─┼─┼─┼─┼──── typematic rate indicator (see ~INT 16,3~)
         │ │ │ │ │ └─┴─┴─── A in period formula (see below)
         │ │ │ └─┴──────── B is period formula (see below)
         │ └─┴─────────── typematic delay
         └────────────── always zero

        delay = (rate+1) * 250   (in milliseconds)
        rate = (8+A) * (2**B) * 4.17  (in seconds, ± 20%)

        Defaults to 10.9 characters per second and a 500ms delay.  If a
        command byte (byte with high bit set) is received instead of an
        option byte this command is cancelled.
    F4  Enable Keyboard, cause the keyboard to clear its output buffer
        and last typematic key and then respond with an ACK.  The
        keyboard then begins scanning.
    F5  Default w/Disable, resets keyboard to power-on condition by
        clearing the output buffer, resetting typematic rate/delay,
        resetting last typematic key and setting default key types.
        The keyboard responds with an ACK and waits for the next
        instruction.
    F6  Set Default, resets to power-on condition by clearing the output
        buffer, resetting typematic rate/delay and last typematic key
        and sets default key types.  The keyboard responds with an ACK
        and continues scanning.
    F7  PS/2 Set All Keys to Typematic, keyboard responds by sending an
        ACK, clearing its output buffer and setting the key type to
        Typematic.     Scanning continues if scanning was enabled.  This
        command may be sent while using any Scan Code Set but only has
        effect when Scan Code Set 3 is in use.
    F8  PS/2 Set All Keys to Make/Break, keyboard responds by sending an
        ACK, clearing its output buffer and setting the key type to
        Make/Break.  Scanning continues if scanning was enabled.  This
        command may be sent while using any Scan Code Set but only has
        effect when Scan Code Set 3 is in use.
    F9  PS/2 Set All Keys to Make, keyboard responds by sending an ACK,
        clearing its output buffer and setting the key type to Make.
        Scanning continues if scanning was enabled.  This command may
        be sent while using any Scan Code Set but only has effect when
        Scan Code Set 3 is in use.
    FA  PS/2 Set All Keys to Typematic Make/Break, keyboard responds by
        sending an ACK, clearing its output buffer and setting the key
        type to Typematic Make/Break.  Scanning continues if scanning
        was enabled.  This command may be sent while using any Scan Code
        Set but only has effect when Scan Code Set 3 is in use.
    FB  PS/2 Set Key Type to Typematic, keyboard responds by sending an
        ACK, clearing its output buffer and then waiting for the key ID
        (make code from Scan Code Set 3).  The specified key type is then
        set to typematic.    This command may be sent while using any
        Scan Code Set but only has effect when Scan Code Set 3 is in use.
    FC  PS/2 Set Key Type to Make/Break, keyboard responds by sending an
        ACK, clearing its output buffer and then waiting for the key ID
        (make code from Scan Code Set 3).  The specified key type is then
        set to Make/Break.     This command may be sent while using any Scan
        Code Set but only has effect when Scan Code Set 3 is in use.
    FD  PS/2 Set Key Type to Make, keyboard responds by sending an ACK,
        clearing its output buffer and then waiting for the key ID (make
        code from Scan Code Set 3).  The specified key type is then set
        to Make.  This command may be sent while using any Scan Code Set
        but only has effect when Scan Code Set 3 is in use.
    FE  Resend, should be sent when a transmission error is detected
        from the keyboard
    FF  Reset, Keyboard sends ACK and waits for system to receive it
        then begins a program reset and Basic Assurance Test (BAT).
        Keyboard returns a one byte completion code then sets default
        Scan Code Set 2.


^Keyboard Responses to System (via 8042 port 60h)

    00  Key Detection Error or Overrun Error for Scan Code Set 1,
        replaces last key in the keyboard buffer if the buffer is full.
    AA  BAT Completion Code, keyboard sends this to indicate the keyboard
        test was successful.
    EE  Echo Response, response to the Echo command.
    F0  Break Code Prefix in Scan Code Sets 2 and 3.
    FA  Acknowledge, keyboard sends this whenever a valid command or
        data byte is received (except on Echo and Resend commands).
    FC  BAT Failure Code, keyboard sends this to indicate the keyboard
        test failed and stops scanning until a response or reset is sent.
    FE  Resend, keyboard request resend of data when data sent to it is
        invalid or arrives with invalid parity.
    FF  Key Detection Error or Overrun Error for Scan Code Set 2 or 3,
        replaces last key in the keyboard buffer if the buffer is full.
    id  Keyboard ID Response, keyboard sends a two byte ID after ACK'ing
        the Read ID command.  The byte stream contains 83AB in LSB, MSB
        order.  The keyboard then resumes scanning.

    - many cards designed for the ISA ~BUS~ only uses the lower 10 bits
      of the port address but some ISA adapters use addresses beyond
      3FF.  Any address that matches in the lower 10 bits will decode
      to the same card.   It is up to the adapters to resolve or ignore
      the high bits of the port addresses.   An example would be the
      Cluster adapter that has a port address of 390h.  The second
      cluster adapter has a port address of 790h which resolves to
      the same port address with the cards determining which one
      actually gets the data.

    There are two general cable configurations used with the RS-232C
    Communications Standard:

      Data Terminal Equipment (DTE): IBM PC's, printers, plotters, etc
      Data Communication Equipment (DCE): modems, multiplexors, etc

    DCE to DTE requires all lines run straight through
    DTE to DTE usually requires swapping of the following lines

        RD  and TD        RD  and TD
        RTS and CTS    or    RTS,CTS and DCD
        DTR and DSR        DCD and RTS,CTS

    RTS    Request To Send        DTE output, DTE would like to transmit
    CTS    Clear To Send        DTE input, DCE is ready to transmit
    DSR    Data Set Ready        DTE input, DCE is ready to communicate
    SG     Signal Ground        provides a Zero reference voltage
    DCD    Data Carrier Detect  DTE input, data link established, also
                    known as Receive Line Signal Detect (RLSD)

    - RTS/CTS is used for half duplex line turn around
    - in half duplex DCD is asserted only by the receiving device
    - full duplex modems tie CTS & DCD together (no CTS/RTS handshaking)
    - most modems require DTR to be present to respond to commands
    - maximum voltages are between -15 volts and +15 volts
    - binary outputs are between +5 to +15 volts and -5 to -15 volts
    - binary inputs are between +3 to +15 volts and -3 to -15 volts
    - input voltages between -3 to +3 are undefined while output voltages
      between -5 and +5 are undefined
    - positive voltages indicate ON or SPACE, negative voltages indicate
      OFF or MARK
