This document shows two programming examples using the built in assembler of BBCBASIC for the Einstein to input and output bytes via its USER PORT. Programming requires configuring  the Einstein’s internal  Z80 PIO IC.

 

Two programming listing examples are given for BBCBASIC FOR WINDOWS to run in a MS/WINDOWS PC to transmit and receive bytes which run in conjunction with the BBCBASIC programs given for the Einstein.

 

 

 

EXCHANGING BYTE  DATA

VIA
THE EINSTEIN’s USER PORT AND THE PC’S

PRINTER PORT

By Chris Coxall

Programming on The PC using BBCBASIC FOR WINDOWS

 

The programming for BBCBASIC FOR WINDOWS has been kept to basic basic so to run in a window as would be expected to run in a full screen DOS version of basic or as would be expected to be how the Einstein or other vintage computers would display running programs. There has been no attempt to take advantage of BBCBASIC FOR WINDOWS ability to use windows features such dialogue boxes or drop down menus that can be used with BBCBASIC FOR WINDOWS.

 

An an exception to simple programming in the listings are system calls to third party WINIO support files to access computer ports directly when using XP and WIN2000. The WINIO files must be present in the same folder that the bbcbasic for windows files are saved to. The intention of simple programming is to show a basic guide which can be followed and understood by others who have a preference to use other programming for writing windows software. The two programs given are just small enough to run in the free Demo version of BBCBASIC FOR WINDOWS.  The required third party WINIO support files come with the BBC4W installation package. See BBC4W HELP index-"Input/output using WINIO ".

Download BBCBASIC FOR WINDOWS http://www.rtrussell.co.uk/.

 

It might be possible for the two BBC4W programs given to exchange data by bytes between two windows PC's via their ECCP printer ports. This has not been tried. Download XP_IN.BBC and XP_OUT.BBC in a zip archive from

The Tatung Einstein Computer Website xpinout.zip

Einstein Programming for the Z80 PIO and interrupt handshaking

 

•Basic principles for mode 0 output and mode 1 input.

Programming the Z80 PIO for mode 0 (eight bit output) or mode 1 (eight bit input) with hardware handshaking requires an interrupt routine. The interrupt is generated by a high or pulse high received on the STB pin of the Einstein's user port set by strobe from the PC's printer port. An output of a byte to the PIO's data port will set the RDY pin on the user port high to be received by Acknowledge on the PC's printer port for mode 0 output. For input mode 1 the RDY signal is active  when the input register is empty and is ready to accept data from the peripheral device.

 

The BBCBASIC programs for the Einstein's user port U_IN_EN.BBC and U_OUT_EN.BBC have been put into an Einstein Disk Image. Download from this web page. pio.zip  A 3.5 inch Einstein floppy can be made from the image in a PC floppy 3½”drive with CPCDiskXP software DOWNLOAD HERE http://www.cpcmania.com/.

 

Files in the disk image can be extracted from the image into PC folder using EDIP

WRITING TO THE Z80 PIO CONTROL PORT

•FOR MODE 0 and MODE 1

•WITH INTERRUPTS ENABLED

 

%VVXX1111 . Bits D3-D0  indicate "Set Mode".

Last 4 bits set to 1111 Signifies This Control Word is to set mode.

Bits D5 and D4 are ignored.

Bits D7 and D6 set to 01 sets PIO to mode 1 input

Bits D7 and D6 set to 00 sets PIO to mode 0 output

 

%VVVVVVV0 . Bit 0 set to 0 sets the low byte interrupt vector set by remaining bits.

D0 is used in this case as a flag bit which when low,

causes V7 through V1 to be loaded into the vector register.

0 in D0 Signifies This Control Word is an Interrupt Vector.

%00001100 interrupt vector low byte set to Hex 12.

HEX 12 is the low byte of a scratch pad address given by the Einstein's Machine Operating System at bootup.

The high byte needs to be in the Z80's I register. This is fixed to HEX FB by the Einstein at bootup.

 

%VVVVV111

Bits 0, 1 and 2 set to 111 This Signifies Control Word  is to set interrupt.

%10000111 Bit 7 set to 1 enables interrupts.

 

A pdf user manual for the Z80 PIO can be downloaded here.

More About The Einstein’s Z80 PIO

The Z80 PIO has two ports for 8Bit input and output: Port A and B. On the Einstein port A is configured to be compatible as a centronic’s printer port at power up. Electronically this is set as mode 0 output but has a hardware adaptor of a monostable which sets ARDY high  as a 1us pulse. With the User Port the BRDY is held high until a high is received by PIO’s  BSTB pin.

 

Physically the Einstein’s printer port pin out in the manual labels a STROBE pin which is connected to the PIO’s ARDY and an ACKNOWLEDGE  pin which connects to the PIO’s ASTB. The printer port’s BUSY, PE and ERROR connect to the Einstein’s command/status register.

 

If the Einstein’s printer port is used instead of the user port any of the Einstein’s software applications print commands will transfer output data but Additional Programming would be needed for input.
