II+ reset vector?
To: rogtha@delphi.com
R >Where does the reset vector on the II+ hang out?
On a reboot request, the CPU does an 'JMP ($FFFC)' into the monitor ROM. The
monitor does some hardware initialization and tests to see if the PWREDUP
($3F4) is valid [Does it equal (Value of $3F3) XOR $A5]. If the byte is
valid, the monitor does a 'JMP ($3F2)' to the user's reset routine.
Otherwise, th e monitor continues w/ a system reboot.
