EXAMPLE CODE
GET AND SEND
* MIDI ROUTINE for CoCo Midi Interface
* Version 1.0 by Allen C. Huffman
MSTAT EQU $FF6E From here on, MSTAT refers to $FF6E
MDATA EQU $FF6F and MDATA refers to $FF6F
ORG $7000 Program starts at $7000
START1 BRA GET GET routine at $7000
START2 BRA SEND SEND routine at $7002
GET BSR INIT Jump to INIT routine
LDX #$7100 Make X point to start of "buffer"
GLOOP BSR GETDAT Loop. Jump and get byte from pack
STA ,X+ Store byte at X, increment X
CMPA #$F0 Compare A to $F0
BLS GLOOP If A < $F0, return to GLOOP
RTS Return from subroutine
SEND BSR INIT Jump to INIT routine
LDX #$7100 Make X point to start of "buffer"
SLOOP LDA ,X+ Loop. Load A from X, increment X
BSR SENDAT Jump and send A to pack
CMPA #$F0 Compare A to $F0
BLS SLOOP If A < $F0, return to SLOOP
RTS
INIT LDA #$3 Load A with $3
STA MSTAT Store it at MSTAT
LDA #$15 Load A with $21 [SIC]
STA MSTAT Store it at MSTAT
RTS Return from subroutine
GETDAT LDA MSTAT Load A with Status
BITA #1 Test bit 1
BEQ GETDAT If it's 0, go back to GETDAT
LDA MDATA Byte received, load it in A
RTS Return from subroutine
SENDAT LDB MSTAT Load B with Status
BITB #2 Test bit 2
BEQ SENDAT If it's 0, go back to SENDAT
STA MDATA Pack clear, send A
THEEND RTS Return from subroutine
END INIT That's it!
