# Writing contents to the AT28 # Writing contents to the AT28
There is an AT28! writer word in B400 which is C!*-compatible If you wait 10ms between each byte you write, you can write dir-
(see "Indirect memory access" in doc/usage.txt) and and waits ectly to the AT28 with regular memory access words. If you don't
until the write is complete before returning. If you use C! wait, the AT28 writing program will fail. Because it's not very
directly, bytes you write might not have the time to completely pratical to insert waiting time between each byte writes, you
write themselves before you write another one. need another solution.
To use, set C!* with "' AT28! ' C!* **!". Once this is done, you To that end, Collapse OS has a "memory write override" mech-
can use MOVE, or /tools/upload, both will call C!* and do the anism. Whenever C! or ! is about to set a byte somewhere in
right thing. Unset C!* with "' C! ' C!* **!" afterwards. memory, it checks whether such an override is active. If it is,
it calls it. That override is set with the "~C!" word.
B400 also has AT28, which is the same as AT28!, but for C,. B400 contains an override routine compatible with ~C! called
~AT28. When you're about to write to your AT28, activate that
override with "' ~AT28 ~C!". That overwrite will write the byte,
then poll the AT28 until it indicates that it is finished
writing. This ensures that Collapse OS doesn't try writing
another byte before the AT28 is ready.
When you're done writing to the AT28, unset override with
"0 ~C!". The override routine has a non-negligible speed impact
on all memory writes.
When polling, ~AT28 also verifies that the final byte in memory
is the same as the byte written. If it's not, it will place a
non-zero value in the ~C!ERR 1b variable. Therefore, if you want
to see, after a big write operation to your AT28, whether any
write failed, do "~C!ERR C@ .". Re-initialize to zero before
your next write operation.
