Hi Wolfgang,
I am really only putting the manual into epub/mobi format so that I can
have it on a ereader for reference when trying to problem in assembley
language.
I have already produced a ODT version in Libre Office, but does not have
the corrections, format changes to the Trap listing into tables and
interlinking of the sections.
It possible to make the corrections to the manual and convert it to HTML
and put online as a WIKI file for users to update and correct.
Would this contravene any copyright?
Regards,
Derek

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that Marcel is right here (as usual).
IOB.TEST makes no sense, this just checks whether there is still some
input, not whether i/o/ operations are complete, so this must be IOF.CHEK.
However, I had a (very quick, sorry) look at the sources and you can
find the following in iod_iox_vector_asm
;+++
; Directory Device check slave blocks
;
; d6 c p drive / file number
; a0 c p channel block
; a3 c p linkage block
; a4 c s definition block
;
; status return standard
;---
iox_chek
jmp iox_flsh ; just flush
So at least here, test just calls flush....
AFAIK, though, noting actually uses that.
OTOH, not all drivers will implement this trap (I *** believe*** this
might be the case, e.g. for ram disks where this will just go to a moveq
0,d0 and an rts)
since you're redrafting the manual, you might want to add a little rider
in this respect.

Hi,
I just looked in the SMSQ/E sources and can not fond IOF.TEST.
Is the statement in Section 5.3 correct?
If not how should read.
As I wrote I'm pretty sure they meant to write IOF.CHEK
Marcel
