Re: Addressing 2GS slots with Orca Pascal?



Yves,

I'm not an experienced programmer, but I do own the IIgs Firmware manual. I'll try to see if there is something there about accessing the slots. Through, I don't doubt that there are people who read this list who can answer your question off the top of their heads.

Hello Apple 2 fans,

I'm an experienced Apple ][+, //e programmer but a newbie when it comes to Apple 2GS 16-bit mode. I whish to experiment with a sprite card based on TI's TMS9918A chip. I'd like to use Orca PASCAL for this instead of fiddling with PEEKs and POKES and their negative decimal addresses and data or using assembler which is tedious to use for a first try. I'll use assembler later on to write a more efficient device driver. Anyway, here's my question: is there a PASCAL programming trick to access memory space dedicated to slot 1-7? On the same line of thought, are there online reference on GS hardware architecture? I have the Toolbox reference books vol. 1 and 2 but I miss the rest of official Apple 2gs book collection.

Thanks,

Yves
