"Frodo! Mr.Frodo, my dear!" cried Sam,<BR>
|
|
tears almost blinding him. "It's Sam, I've come!"
|
|
</CITE>

|
|
|
Frodo has a built-in machine language monitor that can be activated at any
|
|
time by pressing F9 (Unix) or selecting the appropriate menu item (BeOS/AmigaOS/MacOS):
|
|
SAM (Simple Assembler and Monitor). It provides full access to the memory
|
|
and hardware of the emulated C64 and 1541 (under BeOS, you must only start
|
|
SAM if you launched Frodo from the Shell).<P>
|
|
|
|
SAM is controlled by a command-based interface, all numbers are in hex.
|
|
With the command "h" you can display a list of all commands. The command
|
|
"x" quits SAM and returns to Frodo.<P>
|
|
|
|
SAM has two modes of operation, indicated by the prompt "C64>" or "1541>".
|
|
You can switch between them with the "64" and "1541" commands. In "C64"
|
|
mode, all commands that access memory or the CPU operate on the memory/CPU
|
|
of the emulated C64. In "1541" mode, they operate on the emulated 1541
|
|
(this is only useful if the processor-level 1541 emulation is turned
|
|
on).<P>
|
|
|
|
All commands that access the C64 memory use the memory configuration set
|
|
with the "k" command. On starting up SAM, the configuration is set to the
|
|
one the processor is in. Accesses from within SAM have the same effect as
|
|
accesses of the emulated processor. This affects especially the I/O
|
|
registers: a memory dump of $dc00-$de00 clears pending CIA interrupts as
|
|
SAM reads from $dc0d and $dd0d. With the "v" commands, you can examine the
|
|
state of the I/O chips without modifying the state of the emulation.<P>
|
|
|
|
In all places where SAM expects a number (except in the assembler) you can
|
|
also enter an expression of hex numbers containing '+', '-', '*', '/' and
|
|
parens. Commands that create a longer output can be interrupted with
|
|
Ctrl-C.<P>
|
|
|
|
Here is a description of all commands ('[]' marks a parameter than can be
|
|
left out, '{}' marks a parameter that can be repeated many times. If a
|
|
[start] parameter is left out, SAM continues at the address where the last
|
|
command stopped):<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
a [start] Assemble
|
|
</PRE><P>
|
|
|
|
starts the assembler at the address "start". SAM always prints the address
|
|
where the next instruction will be written to. The syntax of the
|
|
instructions conforms to the standard except for shift/rotation
|
|
instructions in the "accumulator" addressing mode. Those have to be entered
|
|
without operand, e.g. "lsr" instead of "lsr a". Entering a blank line quits
|
|
the assembler and returns to the command mode of SAM.<P>

total number of differences (decimal) are printed.<P>

"k" without parameters shows the memory configuration that is set for SAM,

"k" with parameter modifies it. On exiting SAM, the configuration set with

the processor port is reactivated. The memory configuration has no effect

in 1541 mode. The 8 possible configurations are:
