Wait for the Index mark and either proceed directly (SA1000) or wait until 27 sector marks have gone by (SA4000). The SA4000 wait is needed because the transfer of each sector on the SA4000 is proceeded by a wait for the next index mark. Thus in order to start on sector 0, we must count our way around the disk so when the transfer is started, the next sector mark belongs to sector 0. The next sector mark encountered after the index mark is found will be the one for sector 1.} KCtl Ź dbUFindIndexMkCmd, BRANCH[FindSA1Sect0, FindSA4Sect0,2], c1; {next click starts after index mark, do we start read immediately or wait for sector 27?} {SA4000 is connected, so wait for sector 27.

It is done by verifying each field as it comes along. When the Header for sector 0 is found, we immediately start processing the Label for sector 0 below. Note the entry point for this code is at FindSA1Sect0, not at FindSA1Sect0Lp. Note also that the first word to be verified in the Header is the cylinder number, which is 0000.

When sector 0 has been found, wait two cycles and process the Label field.} {This code is used to read the Header, Label and Data fields of a run of sectors on the disk. A run of sectors occupies consecutive sectors on consecutive tracks. It is assumed that the booting code has correctly loaded all necessary U registers. All sectors will be read regardless of whether an error is found or not. The Logical OR of all error flags will be left in dbUStatus. If no error is encountered, dbUStatus is left with zero. See the definitions file for the regular disk microcode (DiskDlion.df) for an definition of the error bits. It is assumed that no run of pages may cross a cylinder boundry. In this version of the disk boot code, runs may cross track boundries. No check is made for cylinder boundries, the code will increment the track numbers indefinately. Processing begins by loading the parameters for processing a header and finding the first sector mark. The Header field is then processed and the results tested using first the HeaderQuitMsk. Any status bits indicated by dbUHeaderQuitMask and ORed into dbUStatus. Note one of the bits tested when connected to an SA1000 drive should be the HeaderTag/SectorFound bit. This is set by a bit in the address mark of the Label and Data fields. It acts an error bit when looking for Header fields. Regardless of whether the status passes this test, parameters are loaded for the label field and it is processed. Its status is masked with dbULabelDataQuitMask and ORed into dbUStatus also. The process is repeated for the Data section. One difference between the Header and Label fields on the one hand and the Data field on the other is that the same two buffers are used to process the Header and Label fields of every page while each page requires a new data buffer. Real addresses of the string of data buffers are found by incrementing the page numbers in UDataPgNum. It is assumed that the contigous string of real memory pages is always in the first 64 K of real memory. After the status resulting from processing the Data field is masked by dbULabelDataQuitMask and ORed into dbUStatus, one sector has been processed. Before decrementing the number of pages left in the run, the number of pages left in the current track is decremented. If it becomes zero, the Head number is incremented in both command words where it appears (dbUFreezeCmd, dbUFindSectMkCmd). No test is made to see if the maximum head number has been exceeded as it is assumed this will never happen. After this, the number of pages left in the run is decremented and we either continue with the next page or stop.} NewSector: RCnt Ź dbUHeaderAddr, ClrKFlags, c1; {start hardware looking for a header, clear SectorFound flag} RAdr Ź CHeaderLen, pCall4, c2; {get control wd for Header field} KCtl Ź dbUFindSectMkCmd, CALL[TransferField], c3, at[0,10]; {start transferring as soon as the sector mark is found.} HeaderRet: RCnt Ź dbUHeaderQuitMsk, c1, at[0,10,HeaderRet]; {get mask for Header status bits.} RCnt Ź RCnt and ~KStatus, L5 Ź L5.LabelWait, c2; {select meaningful status bits.} dbUStatus Ź RCnt or RAdr, CALL[Wait4], c3; {add them to current status (RAdr was loaded with dbUStatus in TransferField).

Its arguments are: 1) Word Count (~= length of field) in RAdr 2) Control word - the word sent to control the hardware when processing the CRC wd, in dbUReadCmd and 3) Buffer address - the location in physical memory of the first word of the buffer for the field to be transferred, in RHRCnt and RCnt. The initialization section of the code inserts the Head number into the command andsaves it away. The read code waits until the PLL synchronization pattern is under the read head, then issues the transfer control word to start things up. When all data has been processed, the Freeze command is sent to stop the hardware and we return to the calling code. It seems silly to insert hte Head number into the field command for each field since the command is always the same. However, we must use the same amount of time as is used by the regular disk code in order to preserve the relationsship between the instruction being executed and the position of the read heads relative to the disk. Since this must be done anyway, we might just as well insert the had number here where it's free than elsewhere.} TransferField: dbUWdCount Ź RAdr, c1; {Save the word count while creating the current command in RAdr} RAdr Ź dbUReadCmd, c2; {get the command used for all fields, all heads} RAdr Ź RAdr or dbUFreezeCmd, KCtl Ź dbUFreezeCmd, c3; {insert the head number. make sure microcode wakeup=FirmwareEnable so we can clear the error flags (if Wakeup = SectorFound, ClrKFlags will abort the Wakeup!). Clear the error flags so a delayed verify error flag from the CRC word of a previously verified field will not give a spurious error indication here} dbUFieldCmd Ź RAdr, ClrKFlags, L5 Ź L5.SetupRd, c1; {save transfer command, reset old flags} RAdr Ź dbUWdCount, CALL[Wait5], c2; {restore the word count and wait for start of this field.} {Setup the read operation. The data separator on the SA4000 requires that the read head be enabled after the beginning of the synchronization pattern. The controller data separtor for the SA1000 does not care when it is enabled. The Read and Write microcode process in the same amount of time, so we may derive the position of the read head relative to the sector mark using the current location in the code. The write routine in the regular code immediately begins writing the synchronization pattern and determining the address mark or sync word to be written. This code mimics the timing of the regular code so we may also derive the disk position from the current instruction being executed. One might think delaying one click here would ensure the read head was over the synchronization pattern. Unfortunately, the position of the read head relative to the executing code is only known to within one click, so a delay of one click gives a real delay of zero to two clicks. By delaying two clicks here, we guarantee at least a one click delay. } SetupRd: KCtl Ź dbUFieldCmd, c2, at[L5.SetupRd, 10, WaitRets]; {start the read operation} {Start the Read operation.
