VIDEO
DRIVER
Version
4
of
the
Monitor
contains
a more
elaborate
video
driver
than
previous
versions.
The
purpose
of
the
video
driver
is
to
accept
a
stream
of
ASCII
codes,
and
to
write
them
into
the
screen
memory
in
the
proper
place,
interpreting
certain
non
printing
control
codes
in
a
special
way. There
are
several
entry
points
to
the
video
driver.
E009
is
recommended. The
character
code
to
be
printed
must be
in
the
A
register.
A
CALL
E009
will
cause
the
character
to
be
printed
on
the
screen
at
the
cursor
position.
All
registers
will
be
preserved.
Control
codes
are
generated
by
the
keyboard by
holding
the
control
(CTRL)
key
down
while
a
letter
key
is
pressed.
Control
codes have
values
between 0
and
31,
and
are
64
less
than
the
codes
for
the
corresponding
upper
case
letters.
To
demonstrate
the
features
of
the
video
driver,
type
Y
after
the
Monitor
prompt, and any keyboard
generated
code
will
be
echoed
to
the
video
driver.
The
following
control
codes
are
interpreted
as
special
functions,
while
all
others
are
ignored:

There
are
special
keys
on
the
keyboard
to

some

the
codes such
as
RETURN,
TAB
and
linefeed
(LF).
If
you

using
the
Vector
Graphic Keyboard
or
Mindless

there
are
also
