Quick Tips - Mega-680x0 Monitor
Basic Monitor Commands
 

Make sure Caps Lock is on - the following commands should be typed in upper case.

The Monitor command line arguments are expressed in hexadecimal.
 
 
Loading CP/M-68K
 
Type: OS
 
 
Loading BASIC
 
Type: BA
 
 
Displaying the contents of memory
 
Type: MD <start address> <byte count>
 
Examples:
MD 0 10 displays the first 16 bytes of memory
MD FFFF00 100 displays the last 256 bytes of memory
MD 100000 100000 dumps to screen the 2nd 1M page of memory
 
 
Testing memory
 
Type: BT <start address> <end address>
 
Note:
Only even addresses are valid for the start and end address parameters
All memory is tested from start address to end address including end address+1
 
Examples:
BT 200000 2000FE tests 256 bytes of memory starting at address $200000
BT 200000 2FFFFE tests the 3rd 1M page of memory
BT 300000 3FFFFE tests the 4th 1M page of memory
 
 
Saving memory to an S-Record file
 
Type: DU1 <start address> <end address>
 
Note:
<start address> address of first byte
<end address> address of last byte
 
Examples:
DU1 0 F dump in S-Record format the first 16 bytes of memory
DU1 FFFF00 FFFFFF dump in S-Record format the last 256 bytes of memory
 
Use copy and paste to capture the screen output to a file
 
 
Loading memory from an S-Record file
 
Type: LO or LO1
 
The Monitor will now process any S-Record file contents pasted into the Console Window
