Hello,
Trying to understand Alex Freed's PD8, I found this at the beginning of
the boot firmware code:
;; $Cx00
ldx #$20 ; ID bytes for ProDOS and the
lda #$00 ; Apple Autostart ROM
cpx #$03 ;
cpx #$3C ; this one for older II's
Does someone remember the exact and full requirements to be:
- recognized by Autostart ROM on ][+, //e, //c, etc.
- recognized by ProDOS as a block device driver
Regarding ProDOS driver structure, is there public document describing
all requirements like entry points, etc.? Example source template will
be appreciated.
