; blockdev ; ; A block device is an abstraction over something we can read from, write to. ; ; A device that fits this abstraction puts the properly hook into itself, and ; then the glue code assigns a blockdev ID to that device. It then becomes easy ; to access arbitrary devices in a convenient manner. ; ; This part exposes a new "bsel" command to select the currently active block ; device. ; ; *** Blockdev routines *** ; ; There are 4 blockdev routines that can be defined by would-be block devices ; and they follow these specifications: ; ; GetC: ; Reads one character from selected device and returns its value in A. ; Sets Z according to whether read was successful: Set if successful, unset ; if not. ; ; A successful GetC should advance the "pointer" of the device (if there is one) ; by one byte so that a subsequent GetC will read the next char. Unsuccessful ; reads generally mean that we reached EOF. ; ; ; PutC: ; Writes character in A in current position in the selected device. Sets Z ; according to whether the operation was successful. ; ; A successful PutC should advance the "pointer" of the device (if there is one) ; by one byte so that the next PutC places the next char next to this one. ; Unsuccessful writes generally mean that we reached EOF. ; ; Seek: ; Place device "pointer" at position dictated by HL (low 16 bits) and DE (high ; 16 bits). ; ; Tell: ; Return the position of the "pointer" in HL (low 16 bits) and DE (high 16 ; bits). ; ; All routines are expected to preserve unused registers. ; *** DEFINES *** ; BLOCKDEV_COUNT: The number of devices we manage. ; *** CONSTS *** .equ BLOCKDEV_ERR_OUT_OF_BOUNDS 0x03 .equ BLOCKDEV_SEEK_ABSOLUTE 0 .equ BLOCKDEV_SEEK_FORWARD 1 .equ BLOCKDEV_SEEK_BACKWARD 2 .equ BLOCKDEV_SEEK_BEGINNING 3 .equ BLOCKDEV_SEEK_END 4 ; *** VARIABLES *** ; Pointer to the selected block device.
