- #7: Mouse Clamping
-
- Revised by: Matt Deatherage November 1988
- Written by: Rilla Reynolds October 1986
-
- This Technical Note describes the different methods available for obtaining
- mouse clamping values on different Apple II family machines.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
-
- AppleMouse Card
-
- The AppleMouse card delivers clamping values on request. There is no specific
- mouse routine to obtain the clamping values, but an internal routine may be
- used by the mouse card to return them. The values are returned as minimum and
- maximum values of X and Y clamps, both low and high bytes.
-
- Note: The following code is the only supported use of the $Cn1A
- offset into the mouse card firmware, and this entry point is not
- available in any other mouse firmware implementation.
-
- GetClamp LDA #$4E
- STA $478 ;Needed by Mouse Card firmware
- LDA #$00
- STA $4F8 ;Needed by Mouse Card firmware
- STA Tmp ;Zero-page word for indirect addressing
- LDA #CN ;$C<slot>, obtained prior to this rtn
- STA Tmp+1 ;$C<slot>00, Mouse Card firmware main entry
- STA ToCard+2
- LDY #$1A
- LDA (Tmp),Y
- STA ToCard+1 ;Mouse Card firmware GetClamp entry
- LDA #7
- STA BytePtr
- LDY #N0 ;$<slot>0, for Mouse Card firmware
- GetByte LDX #CN ;$C<slot>, for Mouse Card firmware
- LDA #0 ;Needed by Mouse Card firmware
- JSR ToCard
- LDA $578 ;Clamp byte returned by Mouse Card firmware
- LDX BytePtr
- STA Byte,X
- DEC $478
- DEX
- STX BytePtr
- BPL GetByte
- RTS
- ToCard JMP $0000 ;Operand modified by rtn
- Byte DS 8,0 ;MinXH,MinYH,MinXL,MinYL,MaxXH,MaxYH,MaxXL,MaxYL
- BytePtr DS 1,0
-
-
- Apple IIc
-
- For the Apple IIc, you can get clamping values by reading the following
- auxiliary memory screen holes:
-
- $47D MinXL $67D MaxXL
- $4FD MinYL $6FD MaxYL
- $57D MinXH $67D MaxXH
- $5FD MinYH $6FD MaxYH
-
-
-
- Apple IIGS
-
- On the Apple IIGS, the Miscellaneous Tool Set call GetMouseClamp returns the
- mouse clamp values as four words on the stack. This call is documented in the
- Apple IIGS Toolbox Reference, Volume 1.
