- Disclaimer (for MINPS)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- I, Jason Tribbeck, am not committed to supporting this code in any way, even
- if there are bugs in it. This is the first and only release version, and
- will not be updated by myself. I am also not warranted for any errors that
- occur in this code, or its misuse. This source code is PD, and can be given
- freely, as long as the two following rules are applied :
-
- 1) If you do use this code, then you MUST put my name somewhere visible in
- the application (info/manual/whatever).
-
- 2) The four files (a, MINPS, MINReader, Disclaimer) must be included,
- especially this text file (Disclaimer)
-
-
- If you do not follow these two simple rules, then you do not have permission
- to use, or have this source
-
- Where the code/instructions read MIN, this stands for "Machine
- Identification Number". "UID" can also be used, which stands for "Unique
- ID". These two are fully interchangeable in this context.
-
- There are a couple of known bugs/omissions, and they are :
-
- 1) On A540/R260, if the MIN chip is not present, then the keyboard reset may
- be locked out (ie. you can't press reset).
-
- 2) The CRC checking for the MIN has not been implemented. This is because
- the code was written for a microcontroller I have no experience with, and
- a couple of the instructions looked odd.
-
- There are two versions, and one object file (Utility) :
-
- a - ObjASM format for the assembler (converted from BASIC)
- Easily convertible to AASM. It doesn't EXPORT min, but returns it
- as a variable.
-
- MINReader - BASIC program, displays the MIN number
-
- MINPS - Utility displays MIN number. Unfortunately, I don't have the source
- to this, but it should be simple to reconstruct.
