- ToTI (C) 1998 LJS
- ToTI converts the output from a Z80 assembler to a .86p file for a TI-86
- calculator. This is only useful if your into writing your own assembly
- programs for your TI-86.
-
- You will need OS37 or above to run it.
-
- There are other programs you will need to complete your collection of
- programming tools for your TI-86.
-
- You will require a Z80 assembler. There is only one that comes to mind that
- is written for the Amiga and that's CAZ. Its available on Aminet .
- You will also need some software to transfer your newly made .86p file wont
- you?
- Send85 will do the job nicely, although written for a TI-85 it will work for
- the 86. There is documentation included with this software detailing the
- construction of the serial adapter.
-
- Once you have written your assembly source code, assemble it into a memory
- dump. Dont bother with the namby pamby S record files or even worse
- Intel hex, all we want is a memory dump.
- CAZ will generate this as default.
-
- Then convert the assembler output to the .86p file :-
-
- toti a.out smiley.86p Smiley
-
- a.out is the output from the assembler, smiley.86p is the .86p file your
- going to create and Smiley is the name of the program which will appear on
- your TI-86.
-
- And thats it, transfer the thing to your calc, run it and then?
- It either works first time, It crashes your calc and you spend ages
- debugging your source!!!
-
- CAZ and Snd85 are available from Aminet and I had nothing to do with any
- of them.
