Is there really no commented source code for the Card Reader from HP ???

Angel, those spaces don't look like tables to me. To start with they only represent half the codes for the 67, also the codes that do fit are in higgledy-piggledy order - any responsible assembly table maker would have reduced the table order to 1,2,3,4... order. Next there doesn't seem to be any table addressing code in the whole of the card reader ROM, not even an offset address, by one or two bytes, i.e table 1 is at E469 so the search would be to look for an ld@ code having 9h as the last digit of a 4 digit address, but with an offset of a byte it would be 8h or if 16 bit offset it would be 7h, but none of these are apparent in the ROM. Its the same for the other table 2 at E5A7.
Its like the 1G updated version has some left over code that is not cleaned up from the previous version.
Just a few thoughts on the matter.
DA

Hi Derek, thanks for chiming in. I'm half-way through the decoding of the tables, which I'm pretty sure there are active tables, even if decoding their logic requires more information than usually. (HP would not leave all that dead code there, it's MCODE heresy!)

For starters the table is exactly 256 bytes long, which provides a pretty good hint of its contents. Obviously one needs to follow the order defined by the HP-67 "byte table". Thanks to Thomas (and Eberhard) this was revealed to be the proper sequence of the words on the table starting at E467 (not at E469 as I first thought - thanks to Mike for that pointer as well).

As to the index or starting location, it's implicitly built in the call to the subroutine at E465: the call loads E467 in the return stack, from where it's picked up by the subroutine. The table offset (i.e. position to read) is expected to be in A.M on entry.

The logic fetches the word, and depending on the value of the XS nibble it interprets the word as :

a. if XS=0, a direct translation into an HP-41 byte code
b. if XS=3, one of the XROM id#'s from the card reader itself
c. if XS=1, the address of the location where the actual combination of instruction codes are to be found
d. if XS=2 - not clear yet....

All this is of very limited use since the HP-67 code cannot be read by the HP-41 directly unless thru the utilization of the card reader obviously - and separating it into an independent function doesn't seem to be very useful; it's just the challenge of course.

To be continued, this is just the beginning.
See below the gory details ;-)
