_System Clock_

by Gerald McMullon

The COP provides a system clock after

each interrupt (50 times per second).

The COP scans the keyboard and looks

after the relays for the cassette motor

as well as handling the VF display.

Page zero stores 4 bytes, the current

status of the clock in location 52H-55H

(82-85 decimal).

The clock can be displayed by the

following:

FOR i=1TO1000 :

PUT 12 :

?PEEK(82),PEEK(83),PEEK(84),PEEK(85) :

NEXT i

The most significant byte is PEEK(85).

The true value can be found by

?PEEK(85) + 256*( PEEK(84)+256*(

PEEK(83) + 256*PEEK(82) ) )

and can be reset by

FOR i=82to85 : POKE i,0 : NEXT i

On the unexpanded NewBrain or simple

expansion (disk controller) the

following call locations are available:-

CALL 62383 :REM to reset the clock

CALL 62399, ms : REM to obtain the

system clock time

The value in seconds is calculated by

ms/50.

Example:

5 REM Waste 10 seconds

(approximately)

10 CALL 62383

20 CALL 62399,ms :

IF ms < 500 THEN 20

30 END

The clock is very accurate, and has

matched a quartz watch, to within a

minute for over 24 hours.

To time a piece of code, reset at the

begining and read at the end of the

code.

E.g.

CALL 62383

CALL 62399,no :REM time calls

CALL 62383

... : REM your code

CALL 62399,ms :

?"Took";(ms-no)/50;"secs"

NB note the system clock is normally

considered to be the routines at 62383

and 62399.

General Comments for the Emulator

----------------------------------------------------

Newbrain emulator

Programmed by Despinidis Chris

----------------------------------------------------

This emulator uses the raize z80 emulator.

The disassembly part in the debug screen is from the

pasmulator z80 emulator with very seceral modifications by me.

At first i used the pasmulator for emulating the z80 but

it was not a 100% z80 emulator so i switched to raize.

The newbrain emulator was first programmed in Delphi version 5.0

using the following third party components:

Delphi X

Jedi code library

VGLib version 1

Υποβλήθηκε από Colin Appleby

Τετάρτη, 14 Αύγουστος 2013

Has anyone wrote an assembly language program to extend the Newbrain Basic commands as suggeated in "The Newbrain Dissected" book by John Braga (Page 72). Address A2F9h Point to Keyword Table.

Similar to Simon's Basic program and cartridge for the Commodore 64 which extends the Basic v2 by 114 commands and the Simon's Basic Extension by another 91 Commands.
