SOFT968/SOFT158 PDFs

[arnoldemu]

Hi,
After a little push from @cpcitor I have uploaded some more parts of SOFT158 and SOFT968.
These were scanned and OCRed from the originals many years ago, I have finished typesetting them today.

Section 1: The firmware:
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s158se01.pdf
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se01.pdf

Section 13 (158) /14 (968) Firmware Jumpblock:
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s158se13.pdf
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se14.pdf

More to come as I finish typesetting them.

I am on a roll today.

Section 2: ROMs, RAM and the Restart Instructions
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s158se02.pdf
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se02.pdf

For soft 968 this means it completes sections from 1-14.

Final for today:

Appendix 8 - Notes and Tone Periods.
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s158ap08.pdf
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968ap08.pdf

Making the stave at the end was hard work with LibreOffice, it didn't help me with the text boxes. This was the blocker before, but finally I made it.

This one I don't have OCRed so I may have to type this by hand:

Section 14 The Main Firmware Jumpblock

The following are OCRed but will take a bit more time because they involve graphics and I don't have them ready yet.

Appendix I - Key Numbering
Appendix II - Key Translation Tables.
Appendix III - Repeating Keys
Appendix VI - Displayed Character Set

Great work. I have a decent OCR package which also does OCR on graphics if you would like me to run them through it?

Thanks for all the hard work!

SOFT968: Section 15 - The Main Firmware Jumpblock
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se15.pdf

I have also uploaded this document to the wiki. I have updated the wiki page with all the missing sections/appendices (not linked until I finish and upload them).

All sections 1-20 are complete and uploaded.

Thanks man

Soft 968: Appendix 12 (XII) The Hardware and Hardware Variants

(missing the keyboard diagram at the end for the French version of the ROMs. I may try making that with tables. Remainder is complete)

Thanks a zillion times!

Minor correction on calls 69-72: WIDTH-related calls only deal with X coordinates (not X and Y). HEIGHT-related calls only deal with Y coordinates (not X and Y).

Were these errors in original paper document?

No they were not - it was my mistake.

I have uploaded a fixed version.

I have also uploaded appendix 1, appendix 2, appendix 3 and appendix 12. 1,2 and 12 need some extra diagrams but are mostly complete.

There is a typo on first page : "Maching Pack"  and should be "Machine Pack".

Hi,
I've just  found another issue - the name of the TXT OUT ACTION indirection at #BDD9 in s968se16.pdf is incorrect - it looks like the previous entry has been copied instead.
