Title[AltoEtherEmu.Mc...January 9, 1981 11:38 AM...Taft];
* Emulator-level microcode for operating Dorado Ethernet
*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Emulator Task -- SIO instruction
*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set[XTask, IP[EMU]];* Emulator mode
TopLevel;
DontKnowRBase;
* Get here with the SIO control bits in Stack.
* Alto and Mesa emulators here at the end of SIO emulation after
* first processing control bits for any other devices (e.g., Trident).
ESIO:T← EControl;
Stack← (Stack) AND (3C);* Mask Ethernet control bits
T← A0, TIOA← T, Branch[SIONop, ALU=0]; * Select control register
* Control bits nonzero. Must first reset the hardware and tasks.
* Addressing constraints require one instruction between the conditional
* Branch (above) and the CALL, and the CALLs must leave FF free.
TaskingOff;
Call[EResI];* Reset input
Call[EResO];* Reset output
T← A0, BDispatch← Stack;* Dispatch on function bits
SIO0:TaskingOn, Branch[SIO0], DispTable[4, 7, 4]; * Dispatch 0 can’t happen
* 01 -- Start transmitter
T← TurnOnTx, Branch[SIOStart];* Enable output wakeups
* 10 -- Start receiver
T← TurnOnRx, Branch[SIOStart];* Enable input wakeups
* 11 -- Reset interface
T← ECmdBits, Branch[SIOReset];* Manufacture "abort" status
SIOStart:
T← A0, Output← T, Branch[SIONop];
SIOReset:
T← T XOR (CmdAbort);
Call[EPost];* Post it (must leave FF free)
T← A0;
* 00 -- Noop, just return Ethernet address.
* Note that this is the tail of the other 3 cases. T=0 here
SIONop:Stack← InputNoPE;* Read status
PD← Stack, TIOA← T;* TIOA← 0
Stack← RSH[Stack, 10],* Right-justify Ethernet address
Branch[.+2, ALU=0];* Branch if status word entirely zero
Stack&-1← (Stack&-1) OR (77400C), IFUJump[0]; * 177 .. Ethernet addr
* Apparently no Ethernet interface installed.
* Alto software expects to see 77777 in this case.
Stack&-1← 77777C, IFUJump[0];
*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ethernet Boot
*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The emulator branches here after doing all other initialization.
* When the Breath of Life packet has been received, we branch to
* the emulator main loop.
