[net.unix] 3b2 assembly anyone?

rab@smu (09/22/86)

some time ago, i recall an article that provided information on doing
assembly language work on the 3b2.

can someone redistribute that information once more?  we would like to
move an assembly language course from an old 11/70 to the 3b2, and are
trying to see if we can find a good reference manual and text book.

thanks for the research.

The U. of Ill. has an assembler course based on 3B2's (which I've TA'd in
the past). Your best bet is to get a (5620|DMD|Blit) terminal manual. It has
information on how to use the assembler (as) in it. Alternatively, you could
contact professors Kamin (uiucdcs!kamin) or Kaplan (uiucdcs!kaplan). Prof.
Kamin is currently teaching the course, and Prof. Kaplan taught it last
semester, and will again next semester. Or, you can talk to me
(uiucdcs!uiucdcss!carroll).

The title of my manual is : 
5620 Dot-Mapped Display
Software Developer Application Guide

Does this include information how to access the System V kernel from
assembler, i.e. what the parameters for GATE are? How much is it? (i.e.,
could I afford to buy one personally, or it that possible?)

Or, better yet... order the

	AT&T 3B2/3B5/3B15 Computers
	Assembly Language Programming Manual
	select code 305-000

Just got mine.  Is quite good.  You could also look at the book...
