Title: SOFT968/SOFT158 PDFs
Post by: arnoldemu on 12:29, 12 November 17
Hi,
After a little push from @cpcitor (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=531) 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/s968se01.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/s158se13.pdf)
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se14.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/s158ap08.pdf)
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968ap08.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 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.

Appendix I

Appendix II
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/s968ap02.pdf

Appendix III
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/s968ap03.pdf

Appendix XII
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/s968ap12.pdf

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.
