A LOW COST DISK DRIVE FOR THE Timex/Sinclair

Sinclair Radionics, Ltd. of London, England, now has available a low cost disk drive for its line of personal computers. Named the Sinclair ZX Microdrive, it uses an under 3-inch diameter disk with a storage capacity of 85-kbytes. The system uses a single spiral track recording

system similar to that of a phonograph. Control is provided through a Ferranti, Ltd. custom designed LSI chip.

The drive will load a 48-kbyte

-*~program in 3.5 seconds and the worst

case access time for a file is also 3.5 seconds. Up to 50 files can be stored on any single microdrive. A microdrive disk is removable and contained in a square housing about 3 inches on a side. The drive is only slightly larger than the disk and about 3 inches high. A total of 8 drives can be interfaced to the Sinclair/Timex computer, for a total storage capacity on-line of 680-kbytes.

The microdrive will be interfaced to the Sinclair/Timex computers by another new Sinclair product, the ZX Interface 1. The drive will fit under the new Spectrum/TS~2000 series computers. The unit provides a modified Sinclair/Timex basic operating system for the microdrive files. The new unit also provides for the handling of a host of new communications abilities.

The new interface unit allows for local area networking at a 100-kbaud transfer rate. This permits’ the linking of 64 Spectrum/Timex systems

at once. A full video’ screen transfer can occur in 3 seconds, and the LAN protocol allows any Spectrum/TS-2000 to source any single, or group of target

Spectrum/TS 200 systems.

In this manner selected Spectrum/TS 200 systems may serve as a dedicated file server with as many as 8 microdrives or as a printing station. To expand the capabilities of the present dedicated Sinclair/Timex

LEARNING 780 ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE

PROGRAMMING

PART 3 In previous articles we discussed the registers, hex nuabers, and wrote a routine to print a aessage to the screen. In this article we will take a look at a few principles involved with writing loops and accessing tables. Load the basic prograa fro article two of this series, (Vol 1 Iss. 2),

write to 4082h. Enter the hex codes in the left coluans. 21 CA 40 START = LD HL, TABLE First we want to load the variable PNTR (pointer) with the address af TABLE. PNTR will always hold the current address in TABLE of the byte we want to access. The aast convenient way of loading a seaory location with a value is to load a 14-bit register pair with this value, 22 C8 40 LD (PNTR) HL then loading the 14-bit address with the value in the register pair.We need to do this because there is no single instruction to load a seaory location directly with data. 2A C8 40) = NXTPT LD

HL, (PNTR}

This is the beginning a routine to access a single byte of 8-hit data from a

table .PNTR is a progras variable that we will use to keep track of the address of the next byte to access.

7E LB A, (HL)

Load the accuaulator with the contents of the address pointed to by the HL register pair.

23 INC HL

Increment PNTR to the next address in the table

22 C8 40 LD (PNTR) HL

The last two instructions updated PNTR, and stored the value back in PNTR.It is very iaportant to aake sure all pointers, registers are updated, before continuing operations in general.

FE FF cP FF

We will place the byte FF at the end of our table. This will provide us a seans of stopping execution of the prograe. In this forsat we can have a table of any length and not have to change the code. We only have to resesbr to place FF at the end.

C8 RET l

The way out, if the contents of the accumulator and the contents of address pointed to by HL are the same the zero flag is set (1) and we will return to basic.0f course we could CALL this routine from another program and this instruction will return us to our program instead of BASIC.

FE 1 CP 18 .

The next test we will perfora will be to see if the contents of A is larger than 18h, which is the last line on the screen.

D2 88 40° IP NC NXTPT

If the byte from the table is less than 18h then the CARRY flag is set (1) and the progras continues. likewise, if the byte froe the table is larger than 18h, the CARRY flag will be reset (0). We will then juap to location NXTPT and get the next byte froa the table.

47 LO B,A

The byte we got from TABLE will be used as a counter for a loop that will enable us to get the starting address in the display file.

2A OC 40 LD HL, (4000)

This begins the initialization section of the next loop.

‘Timex Sinclair still in © game

By Kevin Anderson USA TODAY

Six months ago, analysts were wondering if Timex Inc. — with no apparent encore to its history-making Timex Sin- clair 1000 home computer — would stay in the home Com puter business.

Last week, Timex began shipping the $199 Timex Sin- clair 2068 — touted as a sec- ond-generation home comput- er able to compete with the Commodore 64, Apple IT and Coleco Adam.

Next week, it begins a na- tional advertising blitz to let the USA know that the company that introduced the under-$100 computer isn’t out of the home computer game — crazy as that game has gotten.

The Timex Sinclair 1000 was credited with turning comput- ers into mass-market items last year. But it and its early com- petitors, although inexpensive,

did littie useful computing.

Consumers quickly grew bored with them, price wars ensued as sales lagged, and makers scrambled to launch a second generation of home computers more like the pow- erful personal business com- puters costing $1,000 and more.

In June, Coleco Inc.’s Adam and Atari Inc.’s 600XL were an- nounced with much hoopla. Few noticed Timex’s an- nouncement that it would up- grade its Timex Sinclair 2000, which never was shipped.

“The 1000 was never more than a simple literacy comput- er. This is the next step, and we think a lot of our customers will move up to it,” Daniel D. Ross, Timex vice president of computer marketing, said Monday. That bodes weil, con-

the program we add hi,de tises the nuaber we got from TABLE.

10 FD DINZ ADLP Do it until register B = 0 06 20 INITL = LD B, 20

Now we will begin to draw the line at the address produced froa the previous loop.B now equals the number of characters to draw.

23 INLP INC HL

36 80 LD (HL) ,80

We are at the processing section of the drawing loop. Here we are loading the 8-bit location, addressed by the register pair HL, with the data 80h, which is the TIMEY character code for an inverse space. We could change this to any character we wished.

CD BC 40 CALL TLOOP

CALL if you reseaber is like SOSUB in basic. That is, we will goto TLOOP and then return to the next instruction. We need to have a timing loop here so we can see what happens an the scrren.You could change the value in TLOOP later on and see what happens.

10 FB DINZ INLP

This instruction decresents register B, that we previously loaded,then tests the zero flag. If zero = 0 (nat zero) then we go back to INLP.If zero = 1 then we continue to the following instruction.DJNZ is what is called a juap relative instruction.Jusp relative instructions do nat juap to an absolute address, they juep a set amount of STEPS forward or backward. Toni Baker's book Mastering Machine Code on Your 7X81 has an excellent description and a table of relative juaps.The subject is a lengthy one and we do not have the space here to do it justice. .

c9 RET

This is a !o-bit tising loop. That is it can handle timings of up te 45536 deciaal. If BC equals 0000 when entering it will start at FFFFh because the first instruction of TLOP decrements 8c.

00 00 PNTR

This is the location of PNTR. It is serely a aesory location we will use to store the table pointer. We aust reserve two bytes afd space here for it, so enter two bytes of zero’s here. |

00 00 00 00 60 00 00 = TABLE

Here enter any amount of zeros to accomodate the length of the table you wish to create. You aay load the table later by writing to address 40CA.

BE SURE TO PLACE AN FFh AFTER YOUR TABLE ‘!!

This prograa can be used as a subroutine in a gage. One way would be to add another test (CP) for your character, a particular object etc.

You could also have your prograa write the table and then entering with

LAST_MINUTE NOTICE

TIMBLINEZ has just learned about a con ference that Timex will be sponsoring in Boston on Oct. 22. We are not sure about all the details yet, but it seems that User Group members and second party H/W and S/W suvpliers are invited.

Rita Carr from the South Bay group will be on vacation near Boston at this time and she has volim- teered to attend this meeting on behalf of all the groups. If. anyone wants to have an item shown to Timex, they can send it to Rita and she will represent it at the meeting.

In order to make arrangements to get things to Rita, please contact Paul Perreault or George Mockridge. We hope to have mre info. about this event in

SBZUG TO ATTEND BOSTON COMPUTER

CELEBRATION

Rita Carr, our advertising person, will represent our club at a special anniversary celebration sponsored by the Boston Computer Society on October 21 and 22 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. The BCS, with Sue Mahoney (formerly with Timex) has put together an impressive event to acknowledge the achievement of Sinclair and Timex computer users and hardware and software suppliers and to examine the numerous ways in which these computers can and are being used in business, home, education and

entertainment. Numerous workshops, displays demonstrations and the T/S 206B will be featured. Hardware, software, and publishing companies

from all over the U.S. will be there, as will Timex.

Hopefully, if some tricky logistics are worked out, Rita will demonstrate that nifty music program developed by Bob Overfelt and played for us at our last meeting. We understand that there may be some T/S 206B for sale at this event.

Citing increased business workload, .

Paul D. Perrault announced effective in October, he will step down as leader of the South Bay group. At our next meeting we hope to choose our next president. Any interested persons please contact Teddy Helderman. Paul mentioned that now that the club machinery is all in place and running smoothly (we have some very good people in this club), the job of president is much easier.

that,

At the last meeting Paul mentioned his pleasure and satisfaction gained in founding the club and watching it grow into the largest group in California, if not the West Coast, and in supporting the growth of

spin-off sister groups throughout the Area. "Tl am have worked

with Martin Clinton, founder and past editor of SincLink, who really put us on the map; with George Mockridge, who has worked hard to publish a Greater Bay Area users groups newsletter, Timelinez; and with Teddy Helderman, the present editor of our section of Timelinez and the keeper of the membership list. These three folks have been instrumental in the club's growth. I am also most thankful to all of you who have helped run the club: George Mockridge and Dennis Parker for putting together an exceilent software library; George Knighton and Dave Kinkead for their monthly efforts to get the newsletter out to us; Neil Steckley for his tape sales efforts and Rita Carr for agreeing to find advertisers for the newsletter and to handle the finances. And finally, I must thank each and every one of you who have continued to find new and exciting ways to use the Sinclair and Timex computers.

Best wishes. Uncle Clive would be pleased!"
