Off to help a buddy move collectibles from a house he is selling in Morro Bay and into a nearby storage facility - I will be tied up until next Monday. Considering working on the Python program GUI when I am back in my hotel room each night.
SAC INTERFACE FOR ADDING PERIPHERALS TO THE 1130
Implementing mirror 1442 reader/punch
In a quick review, I noticed that I have used the low bit of the command 6 for two purposes - not ready status and mirror adapter mode. I needed to reassign the bit used to switch between mirror and virtual adapter modes. I chose to use bit 0 to set to mirror mode and bit 1 to set to virtual mode. The other bits I am sensitive to in this transaction are bit 15 (not ready) and bit 3 (end of file).
All the logic is updated in both fpga and PC program, but the only testing I can do, while my 1442 is offline, is to verify that virtual 1442 mode still works correctly.
