when people talk about programming the m100 (8085) they often mention JUMPS. What are JUMPS? Is it like a CALL, PEEK, POKE or some form of Object Oriented Programming that links a subroutine to the main program body?
BASIC equivalent would be "GOTO". It's a (possibly conditional) transfer
of program control, but unlike a CALL it can't implicitly return to where it came from.
When you make an assembly level program do you have to reconfigure the JUMPS depending on where the program is to reside? (RAM or ROM memory location).
Yes. Other processors support relative jumps, but the 8085 isn't one of them (at least, natively supported - I've seen a hacking using RST, but it's less efficient). -- Regards, Daryl Tester Handcrafted Computers Pty. Ltd.
