this is a last resort effort...
I am trying to use the block read ("u1") command from assembler code...
and I am failing miserably!
the code I wish to use (as in basic) goes something like...
open 15,8,15,"i0"
open 8,8,8,"#"
print#15,"u1:"8;0;18;0
<get lotsa data>
close8: close 15 etc etc
in assembler I am opening channels 15 and 8 with the appropriate file names,
I then use JSR CHKOUT ($ffc9) to set channel 15 as ouput channel and send the
character string 'u1:_8_0_18_0' where _ = <space>
at this stage all appears well... except the head runs off to track 1... and I
read a blank sector!
any hints suggestions etc?? (complete code segments will be accepted!)
