The Sinclair QL Forum

I (quite good in Software, know a little bit about hardware) have a wish for C68 (I have played already with it) and QIMSI (Gold):

Is it possible to support hardware handshaking for the serial port (CTS / RTS or so, I think on the QL it was DTR). Then it's possible to write a protocol, which has ...

I'm not familiar with C1mon, but I couldn't reproduce this on neither Minerva nor SMSQ/E. When I take the pointer at $28(A6) (i.e. VVBAS) and add the offset from the parameter, this takes me to the correct location (the length word, not the first character of the string).

I must test it again ...

The 8049 keyboard co-processor. (Sinclair's naming was "Integrated peripheral co-processor", I think).

It's (IMO): Intelligent Peripheral CoProcessor and MT.IPCOM stands for Manager Trap with the Intelligent coprocessor COMmunication (but we can only guess, only Anthony knows, what the ...

As you can see in the screenshot after entering the machine code function, a3 (of course relative to a6) points to the following 8 bytes (8 is length of a name table entry):

02 01 FF FF 00 00 00 20

Looks good: 02 01 is the code for a string (which I have expected).

FF FF ...

I have finally found the solution:

Load your extension (ideally in a MultiBASIC) with cde=RESPR(size):LBYTES 'filename_cde',cde:CALL cde:JOBS:PRINT HEX$(cde,32)

Switch into C1Mon and enter the command jobs (use a channel with a large window, in my config it is #3)

Find the MultiBASIC job id by ...

If I understood right, your work (this one) allows to get the last free line, or rephrasing it, it allows to get the next numerable line.
Have I understood right?

Exactly.

This is to work with Minerva OS, or also with others like JS, JM...?

This should work with any really compatible S(uper ...

For Derek: New FuNction REF_GETLNHI% returns the highest line number of the currently loaded SuperBASIC program.

I still do not know, for what this is needed (especially as REF_GETLNFREE%-1 is the same), but it was easy to add.

reflection_txt has also been extended(!).

(Packed with 7-Zip on ...

To get the last line just subtract 1 from REF_GETLNFREE%. But it shouldn't be a problem to ad a function which returns the last line number. For the second enhancement: There is no fixed increment or I do not see what you mean.

Unfortunately I'm currently very short of time, so it may take some time.

First version of my reflection S(uper)BASIC machine code toolkit (library):

See attachement (packed on PC with 7-Zip [can it be unpacked with zip on the QL?], tested on Minerva and QPC2).

I think I have already debugged machine code extensions with Computer One Monitor but can't remember how I did it. I've set the job ID in C1MON to a Minverva MultiBASIC with C1MONs job command and then called the extension (in this case a function) with print funcname (it's a function without ...
