My english is not so good, I hope you understand what I write here. --- Files of the Z80 CP/M 3.1 BIOS (interface to yaze-bios) on the drive P: (if yaze-ag is running). Drive P: is connected to the disk file BIOS3 (see .yazerc) : GLOSSARY: ========= bios Is the part of the bios which is witten in Z80 assembler. It acts as an interface to the yaze-bios. Here are central definitions (drive tables, yaze control table (YCT), ...) which are essential for the whole system. yaze-bios Is the part of the bios which is written in C. SUBMIT Files: ============= y.sub Firstly it compiles the bios and generates a CPM3.SYS. Secondly a:cpm3.com is generate with PIP a:CPM3.COM=bootsys.com,cpm3.sys You start CP/M 3.1 by running cpm3.com. You can run cpm3.com also under CP/M 3.1. The BOOTSYS loader transferes all firstly from bank 1 to bank 0 with an interbank move before it relocates and starts CP/M 3.1. So you can restart CP/M 3.1 under CP/M 3.1 itselve (for example with a new BIOS version). You can also start CP/M 3.1 with cpm3.com if CP/M 2.2 runs. The file 'yaze-cpm3.boot' is identical with a:cpm3.com. (yaze-ag loads yaze-cpm3.boot if -DBOOTSYS is given in the Makefile) g.sub make an interactive GENCPM and secondly the same as y.sub p.sub generate only a:cpm3.com clean.sub make a cleanup of all temporary files b.sub was my submit file to develop BOOTSYS.Z80 cpmldr.sub generate cpml.com the cpmldr (see the definitions in sysdef.lib. For booting CP/M 3.1 I use BOOTSYS) BOOTSYS Files: ============== BOOTSYS.Z80 Source of the the BOOTSYS (Sorry the comments are in german ;-) BOOTSYS is a new CP/M 3.1 loader. It relocates and places the banked and resident parts in CPM3.SYS to their right places into memory and starts CP/M 3.1 It was necessary to develop an new loader because CPMLDR of DRI/Caldera or the ZPM3LDR of Simeon Cran does not handle a such big file. CPM3.SYS with alle drive tables for all drives A: - P: is 43 KB. When CPM3.SYS grows over 32 KB CPMLDR/ZPM3LDR does not work. BOOTSYS.COM Compiled version (with Z80ASM bootsys/a ) (For Information about BOOTSYS look to yaze-ag.doc (section "Some words to BOOTSYS"), README_BOOTSYS and INSTALL-2.01) BIOS Source Files: ================== SYSDEF.LIB global system definions BIOSKRNL.Z80 BIOS Kernl with the bios jump table MMU.Z80 Routines and tables for initialicing the MMU (in yaze) YCT.Z80 Yaze Control Table: This file contents some important addresses which are used by the yaze-bios. The YCT itselve have the same entries as the @dtbl. The yaze-bios uses the entries in YCT to setup the entries in @dtbl if a drive is present (mounted) or not. The address of @dtbl and scb are also under the YCT so the yaze-bios knows about it. The yaze-bios also set up the @MEDIA flag in the SCB and the MF flag in the DPH's to indicate a disk change. YDRVTBL.Z80 In this file are the @dtbl, the DPHs for 16 drives (A: .. P:), and the DPBs also for the 16 drives. I make all tables (ALV, CSV) over macros (I use the SLR Z80ASM). The Check Sum Vektors (CSV) and Allocation Vektors (ALV) are setup in dependence of MAXDRM and MAXDSM defined in sysdef.lib. Also the DSM, DRM and CKS fields in the DPB's. NOTICE: All drives uses sector size 2048 bytes as default. If you mount a disk file from yaze-1.10, yaze-ag-2.01 uses sector size 128. You can set all drive to use 128 byte sektors with the new monitor command '128'. This is necessary if you use a disk editor. SCB.Z80 The CP/M 3.1 System Control Block. There are only equals. YAZEBIOS.LIB Here are some definitions to use the yaze-bios. Used in MMU.Z80 and BIOSKRNL.Z80. Misc Files: =========== GENCPM.DAT Here are the definitions for System Generating by GENCPM.COM GENCPM.COM The Utility which generate CPM3.SYS from the files BNKBDOS3.SPR, RESBDOS3.SPR and BNKBIOS3.SPR. IFNEW.COM check files if they are new (F4 flag): F4 not set (new file) --> set errorlevel TRUE -> all commands after a ":" in a submit file will be executed F4 is set (old file) --> set errorlevel FALSE Comment: IFNEW test and set the flag F4 (see SET command) of all files which are given in the command line. If only one file are new (F4 not set) errorlevel is TRUE. CRC.COM For check of the files. LINKDR.COM The Link-80 of Digital Research (V 1.31). I rename it to LINKDR. SYS.Z80 A modified Version of the SYS-Utility. SYS.COM ---- If you find an error let me know and feel free and send an email to me. Usefull informations are also in INSTALL-2.00, yaze-ag.doc, yaze.doc, yaze.1, cdm.1 and README_BOOTSYS ! 15.
