It looks very odd indeed. I made a quick disassembly and it
is not total
garbage though. It has code fragments that look like actual
TED register
manipulations which is odd considering that this area is
supposed to be
the BASIC ROM. Look at this:
. 81d0 ad 1c ff LDA $ff1c
. 81d3 29 0f AND #$0f
. 81d5 09 08 ORA #$08
. 81d7 8d 1c ff STA $ff1c
. 81da ad 1d ff LDA $ff1d
. 81dd c9 9b CMP #$9b
This is the vertical line count register (which is writable
for the TED machines).
Weird thing is that this feature wasn't even used in
production ROMs only in
a few games and demos much later.
If I just take the 16kb HI ROM, and booted: it sets NTSC
mode and sort of freezes.
(tried it in Yape)
I must admit it looks very different from the final kernal
ROM, with I/O data
addresses $FE00-$FE1F that are unmapped in the production
machines.
I'll look further. Very interesting!
Attila
