It is even more complicated in CP/M mode because the CP/M operating system is largely RAM based and, thus, the memory map changes with the CP/M version number and with operating system enhancements, modifications, etc.. This document presents a map of the memory configurations used in CP/M mode. It is not claimed to be complete, but is a very useful starting point for your own explorations. The map was compiled by painstakingly cross checking the CP/M system source code files against the various memory areas using various memory dumping tools (some specially written for this project). The labels for the various memory locations are taken from the CP/M system source code files. There are currently four official versions of C-128 CP/M generally available (apart from various beta test versions), as denoted by the dates displayed on boot up or by pressing the key. There are some major differences in the memory maps of each version. For clarity, these are defined here as: AUG = Version dated 1 Aug 85 DEC = Versions dated 6 Dec 85 or 8 Dec 85 MAY = Version dated 28 May 87 A fifth version can be derived from the MAY version by re- assembling the source code files with the VT-100 emulation option enabled. (For a full description of how to do this, see the section in the Customizing C-128 CP/M document entitled 'Adding VT-100 Support'.) In this map it will be referred to as MAY-VT where there is a difference between it and the regular MAY version. Where not specifically noted, it the same as the MAY version. It is recognized that there are many 'unofficial' or heavily customized versions of CP/M for the C-128 which various people have created. In these cases, generally only the BANK 0 ROM; keyboard definition and parameter storage areas in low BANK 0 memory; the BANK 1 zero page; I/O register areas; and the high common RAM parameter areas will be unchanged. Fortunately, most of the other important system areas can be found easily by tracing the documented vectors in the BANK 1 zero page and the FDxx memory areas. There are also significant differences in the memory map depending on which processor is currently in use (the Z-80 or 8502) . This is important even in CP/M mode because most of the low level BIOS routines, such as standard serial port operations (some disk operations and all printer output), RAM disk operations, etc. use the 8502 mode. Z-80 operations BANK 0 : MMU configuration register value $3F, or preconfig register #1 (FF01) BANK 0 is the system bank. The CP/M ROM's, BIOS and BDOS operate primarily in this bank. Calls can be made by transient programs via the Bank 0/1 common memory portion above E000. 0000 to 0FFF Z-80 ROM code (This code must be moved to bank 1 to be examined.) The entry points are as follows: Z-80 Restart (RST) routines: 0000 RST 0 COLD BOOT routine which takes over when the C-128 is first powered up or the reset button is pushed. The routine continues at 003B. 0008 RST 1 CP/M BOOT routine which is responsible for loading the CPM+.SYS file. Continues at 018C. 0010 RST 2 Entry point for executing main Z-80 ROM functions. Continues with RST 4. 0018 RST 3 Entry point for executing main Z-80 ROM functions. Continues with RST 5. 0020 RST 4 Continuation of RST 2. Adjusts address vector lo byte then falls through to RST 5. 0028 RST 5 Get ROM function address from vector table and execute. 0030 RST 6 Used to indicate ROM date. Contains ASCII text of: 05/12/85 0038 RST 7 Jump to interupt handler at FDFD. 003B Continue with COLD BOOT, set VIC speed to 1 MHz, test for mode, /EXROM, /GAME, etc. 0054 Go to C-64 mode. 00B4 Part of CP/M boot code. Locate 'CPM+.SYS' file in CP/M directory and load if found. 00ED Filename to look for on cold boot: BYT 0 'CPM+ SYS' 0 0100 ROM function execution address vector table for RST 4 and RST 5.

Each key can be defined as a string. Definitions "float" (i.e. you do not have to adjust any pointers elsewhere) and are terminated by a zero byte. Vector at FD0B points to this table. The default key defintions are given in the document "The Console." 10B0 to 128F is not used with the default function key definition set. It is full of FF's, but can be used for stashing short temporary routines. 1290 to 13EF KEYCODES ASCII codes for each key, 4 values for each key (normal, "alpha mode", shift and control) arranged according to key scan code. Note that "alpha mode" defaults to uppercase and is toggled on and off by pressing the C= logo key. It is equivalent to a software "caps lock", but is not related to either the hardware or keys. The vector at FD09 points to 1290. The default key assignments are given in "The Console". The key code values are as follows: Value Meaning 0 null (equivalent to no key press) 1 to 7F normal ASCII codes (control codes, letters, numbers, symbols, etc) 80 to 9F key has been programmed as a string, which is defined in SYSKEYAREA (32 possible "programmable" keys) A0 to AF 80 col character color ( with number keys on main keyboard) B0 to BF 80 col background color ( with number keys on numeric keypad) C0 to CF 40 col character color D0 to DF 40 col background color E0 to EF 40 col border color F0 toggle disk status line on/off (- ) F1 system pause ( key) F2 track cursor on 40 col screen (-) F3 move 40 col screen window left 1 char (- on the cursor keypad above the main keyboard is defined as 4 F3's) F4 move 40 col screen win right 1 char (- on the cursor keypad above the main keyboard is defined as 4 F4's) F5 unlock all locked MFM disk types (- ) F6 select ADM31 screen emulation mode (- on numeric keypad) (MAY-VT version only. Note: the toggle is not implemented in the standard issue system file, but is available as an option when re- assembling the source code.)

F8 to FE not currently defined (reserved for future expansion) FF do a system cold re-start (-) Notes: (1) when bit 7 of FD22 (STATENABLE) is on, key codes of $80 and greater are returned to the calling program without executing the special function as outlined above. (2) FD4C contains a vector to the address of the table of 16 bit execution addresses (low byte/high byte format) of key codes F0 to FF. This vector, or the individual vectors in the address table, can be changed to point to your own custom code. 13F0 to 13FF COLORTBL logical color values 00, 11, 22, ... FF for use with printing and A0 to EF key color values. The vector at FD0D points here. The low nibble at position 13F0+z (0x) is the physical color assigned to the 80 column logical color z. The high nibble is the physical color for the 40 column logical color z. 1400 to 1BCF SCREEN40 pseudo 80 column screen character buffer for the 40 column screen 1C00 to 23CF COLOR40 pseudo 80 column screen color buffer for 40 column screen 2400 BANKPARMBLK (misc. system parameters and flags) Terminal Emulation Parameters 40 Column: 2402 CUROFFSET position counters used by psuedo 80 col screen 2404 OLDOFFSET for 40 col screen 2405 PRTFLG XOR mask value for printing 'coded' messages 2406 FLASHPOS cursor address in actual 40 col screen RAM 2408 PAINTSIZE number of rows to move over for 40 col screen shift ($18 or $19) 2409 CHARADR40 pointer to current char in pseudo screen RAM 240B CHARCOL40 40 col character position - column 0-79 240C CHARROW40 - screen row 0-24 240D ATTR40 40 col attribute (character color) 240E BGCOLOR40 background color 240F BDCOLOR40 border color 2410 REV40 reverse video flag 80 Column: 2411 CHARADR pointer to current char in 80 col RAM 2413 CHARCOL 80 col character position - column 0-79 2414 CHARROW - screen row 0-24 2415 CURRENTATR 80 col attribute bit 7: 0 = alternate (block graphics) char set 1 = ASCII character set 6: 0 = normal video 1 = reverse video 5: 0 = no underline 1 = underline 4: 0 = no blink 1 = blink 3: 1 = red on 2: 1 = green on 1: 1 = blue on 0: 1 = intensity on 2416 BGCOLOR80 background color 2417 CHARCOLOR80 character color 2418 PARMBASE pointer to currently active parameter set (40 or 80 col) 241A PARMAREA80 pointer to 80 col parameters ($2411) 241D PARMAREA40 pointer to 40 col parameters ($2402) 2420 BUFFER80COL temporary storage for 80 col video routines 2471 KEYBUF temporary storage buffer for currently pressed key code 2488 CONTROL CODES flag for control/shift keys pressed, and current character mode. bit key pressed 7 left shift key 5 C= key 4 right shift key 2 control key bit 1 0 character mode 0 0 lower case 0 1 alpha mode 1 0 shift 1 1 control 2489 MSGPTR pointer to current function key message string 248B OFFSET cursor pointers used by various screen functions 248C CURPOS printing routines 248E SYSFREQ power line frequency : 0 = 60 Hz, FF = 50 Hz 2500 to 25FF (unused) this is a nice spot to hide some Bank 0 custom code. 2600 to 2A3F BIOS8502 8502 BIOS code (see map of 8502 mode below for description) 2A40 to 2BFF (unused) another nice place to stash custom code. 2C00 to 2FFF VICSCREEN 40 column video RAM, also appears in hardware I/O area and Bank 2. (Note this is separate from normal C-128 40 col video RAM at $0400 which is unused in CP/M mode because it is under the Z-80 ROM.) 3000 to 3CFF CCPBUFFER An image of the CCP.COM hides here during transient program execution so that it can re-load instantly on a warm boot when the transient program is finished. Note: 3C00 to 3CFF is also used during a cold boot as follows: 3C00 BOOTPARM various flags etc used during cold boot 3C02 LDBLKPTR 3C04 BLKUNLDPTR 3C06 BLOCKSIZE 3C07 BLOCKEND 3C09 BLOCKPTRS 3C29 INFOBUFFER 3C35 EXTNUM 3C36 RETRY 3C77 BOOTSTACK 3D00 BANK0FREE BANK 0 free space which can be used by transient programs, if properly addressed. It extends to 98FF on DEC and MAY versions, 97FF on MAY- VT version, and 9BFF on AUG version. Areas above about 6000 are primarily used by CP/M as temporary directory and file buffers and buffer control blocks (BCB's). Programmers can use, but beware of implications, especially during file I/O. Operating system areas: Component AUG DEC MAY MAY-VT Bank BDOS 9C00 9900 9900 9800 Resident BDOS EE00 EA00 EA00 EA00 Bank BIOS CA00 C700 C800 C600 Resident BIOS F400 F000 F000 F000 The 'Bank' portions are accessible in BANK 0 only, while the 'Resident' portions are accessible in either BANK 0 or BANK 1. The MFM disk parameter table (DPT) is located at: D876 to DA75 in the AUG version D6BD to D8BC in the DEC versions D860 to DA5F in the MAY version D891 to DA90 in the MAY-VT version The DPT contains the basic information to allow access to foreign MFM disk types. Its structure is described in detail in the document 'The Disk System'. In all versions of C-128 CP/M, the base address for the DPT can be found directly by the pointer at FD46. The other major component of accessing disk drives is the extended disk parameter header or XDPH. This is the working area used by the BDOS for actual disk access. When a disk is logged in, the appropriate values are copied from the DPT to the XDPH for general use. The drive table address which contains the vectors to the XDPH for each logical drive can be found at BIOS_BASE+D7. (This is not a documented vector location, however, but merely a point in the BIOS DRVTBL routine which happens to contain the address. The correct method to get the drive table address is to use the BIOS DRVTBL function call directly.) The DRVTBL is located at: CP/M Version DRVTBL Location AUG FB78 DEC/MAY FBD1 The DRVTBL contains a series of address pointers to the disk parameter header base address (DPH_BASE) for each logical drive (A: to P:). If a drive is not physically supported (drives F: to L: and N: to P:, and M:, when no RAM expander is present), the drive table vector value is 0000. The default DRVTBL vectors are: Vector points to: Drive AUG DEC/MAY A: FA6E FA82 B: FAA5 FAB9 C: FADC FAF0 D: FB13 FB27 E: FB4A FB5E F: to L: NOT USED M: NOT USED FB96 N: to P: NOT USED For each drive the $37 byte long XDPH has the following format: DPH_BASE-A pointer to the sector write routine for this drive DPH_BASE-8 pointer to the sector read routine for this drive DPH_BASE-6 pointer to the login routine for this drive DPH_BASE-4 pointer to the initialization routine for this drive DPH_BASE-2 physical drive assigned to the logical drive according to values listed below under VICDRV. DPH_BASE-1 secondary disk type byte from byte 2 of DPT entry. DPH_BASE pointer to logical to physical sector skew table (0000 if none) DPH_BASE+2 9 bytes of scratch pad for use by BDOS DPH_BASE+B media flag 0 if disk logged in, FF if disk has been changed DPH_BASE+C pointer to DPB values for this drive (contained later in entry) DPH_BASE+E pointer to CSV scratch pad area (used to detect changed disks) DPH_BASE+10 pointer to ALV scratch pad area (used to keep track of drive storage capacity) DPH_BASE+12 pointer to directory buffer control block (BCB) DPH_BASE+14 pointer to data BCB DPH_BASE+16 pointer to the directory hashing table DPH_BASE+18 bank for hash table DPH_BASE+19 DPT entry for this drive DPH_BASE+2A maximum sector number and MFM lock flag (bit 7 on if locked) DPH_BASE+2B pointer to entry in master MFM DPT table E000 Common_Free Free memory common to both BANK 0 and 1. Normally used by RSX (resident system extension) programs, as well as other operating system shells and extensions, and self re-locating utilities such as SID, SUBMIT, SAVE, GET, PUT, etc. Can be used by experienced programmers if you are aware of consequences, such as possible crash when using another program or RSX that also resides in this area. Extends to E9FF in DEC and MAY versions and EDFF in AUG version System Control Block (SCB): The SCB is a temporary flag and storage area used for communication amongst transient programs, the BIOS, BDOS and CCP. It is $64 (dec. 100) bytes long , located immediately before BIOS jump table, (DEC and MAY Versions EF9C to EFFF; AUG Version F39C to F3FF) can be read or written with BDOS function 49.

They can be checked for quick access to the specified system parameters, but cannot be relied upon in cases of customized CP/M installations. BIOS_BASE+D3 to +D4 16 bit pointer (lo/hi byte) to physical device table. This address is returned by calling BIOS function 20. (points to F7FD in AUG version and F3E1 in DEC and MAY) DEVTBL = Physical device table, each entry is 8 bytes long consisting of the following data: device name (6 bytes, padded with spaces) mode byte (1 byte) baud rate (1 byte) Mode byte flags* device function 0000 0001 device can do input 0000 0010 device can do output 0000 0011 device can do both 0000 0100 supports software selected baud rate 0000 1000 supports serial I/O 0001 0000 supports XON/XOFF -------------------------------------------- *Note : combinations of mode byte flags are used for each device, such as : %0000 0011 + %0000 0100 + %0001 0000 = %0001 0111 which means that the device can do both input and output, has software selectable baud rates and supports XON/XOFF protocol.

This address is returned by calling BIOS function 22. It points to FBD1 on DEC and MAY versions and FB78 on AUG. FC00 to FD00 INTBLOCK This block contains all FD's. It is the pointer to the main interupt vector (FDFD). A hardware quirk of the C-128 requires from FC00 to FD00 to be all FD's else the low byte of the interupt pointer address will not be correctly specified on the Z-80 address bus. If you use this seemingly unused area for your own programs, it will crash on a random basis if an interupt occurs, unless you disable the interupts first with a Z-80 'DI' instruction. BEWARE!!

Thus, the second FCB area must be moved to an unused area before the first FCB area can be used or else it will be overwritten.) 007C current record position for default FCB 1. 007D-007F current random record position for default FCB 1. 0080-00FF default 128 byte disk buffer and CCP input buffer. On initial entry from CCP, 80 contains the number of bytes in the command tail, and 81 onwards, contains the actual command tail, including all leading and trailing spaces that were entered on the keyboard, all ending with a binary 0 byte. 0100-E9FF 58 k transient program area (TPA) DEC and MAY versions (0100-EDFF 59 k TPA on AUG version) E000-FFFF common with BANK 0 (top of TPA, also BDOS, BIOS, etc.) BANK 2 : MMU configuration register value $3E, or preconfig register #3 (FF03) This bank, which I have arbitrarily called BANK 2, is mostly the same as BANK 0 with the exception that the 40 column video color and I/O are mapped into context: 1000 to 13FF VICCOLOR color map for 40 col screen Note: This bank must also be in context to access the MMU chip registers at D500 in the Z-80 I/O mapped area. Z-80 I/O mapped area: In addition to the normal memory mapping which includes RAM and ROM, the Z-80 has another addressing mode which is called I/O mapping. This is used to access the chip registers and is similar to memory mapping except the Z-80 IN and OUT instructions must be used instead of LD type instructions. The two most commonly used ones are: IN A,(C) which will read the value of the I/O port (chip register) addressed by .BC into the .A register OUT (C),A which will write the value of .A to the I/O port addressed by .BC In both cases, .BC is a 16 bit address and .A is an 8 bit value. The C-128 I/O chips appear at their normal address locations in the I/O area as outlined below and can be programmed directly by the experienced user. Note that you must be careful when playing with register values because CP/M expects most of them to be set in certain ways. Changing these settings may cause a system crash. If no chip register is present at the specified address, the underlying RAM or ROM is written/read. 0000 to 0FFF image of RAM mapped down from D000 to DFFF of BANK 0. 1000 to 13FF VICCOLOR color map for 40 col screen Chip registers: D000 VIC D400 SID D500 MMU D600 8563 80 column chip D800 VICCH VIC 40 col color map DC00 CIA #1 DD00 CIA #2 DE00 external 6551 USART DE00 TXD6551 (send and receive data register) DE01 RESET6551 (write only) DE01 STATUS6551 (when read) DE02 COMMAND6551 DE03 CONTROL6551 DF00 RAM expander DMA controller chip 8502 mode Surprisingly, the CP/M side of the C-128 also makes use of the 8502 side, including the KERNAL ROM's for some of the low level I/O operations, especially serial port communication. In 8502 mode, RAM from 0000 to 01FF is common between the banks. Note that this is different than normal C-128 mode which has common RAM from 0000 to 03FF. The most important implication of this that the KERNAL JSFAR, JMPFAR, INDFET, INDSTA, and INDCMP routines for bank manipulation cannot be used because they all rely on code which is no longer in common RAM (it is above 0200). Once in 8502 mode, you can switch in the KERNAL and BASIC ROM's by writing a value of 0 to the MMU configuration register, but remember to switch them out again before returning to the Z-80. Most of the memory map is similar to the Z-80 side with the exception of the low end. This low end area is very similar to that used in normal C-128 mode except as noted below.

Large open spaces exist in the cassette buffer (0B00 to 0BFF) and C-128 mode RS-232 buffers (0C00 to 0DFF). These can be used for custom 8502 code. 1000 and up common with Z-80 side in BANK 0. The following area is used for the BIOS 8502 code when the 8502 is switched in during CP/M operations: 2600-2A40 BIOS8502 8502 BIOS code (all code here is in standard 8502 machine language) BIOS8502 function Jump Table Entry Points to code at AUG MAY/DEC AUG MAY/DEC -1 reset 260F 2614 2625 262E 0 initialize 2611 2616 2654 265D 1 read 1541 2613 2618 2682 2690 2 write 1541 2615 261A 26B0 26BE 3 read 1571/81 2617 261C 26F9 2707 4 write 1571/81 2619 261E 26F6 2704 5 inquire disk 261B 2620 270E 271C 6 query disk 261D 2622 2740 274E 7 printer 261F 2624 2776 2784 8 format disk 2621 2626 27AC 27E2 9 user code 2623 2628 262B* 2634 a 17xx read n/a 262A n/a 2820 b 17xx write n/a 262C n/a 2823 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * NOTE: there is an error in the code at 262B of the AUG version.The byte value is $C3 and it should be $6C for a JMP (xxxx).

BIOS8502 IRQ, BRK and NMI vectors point to 29AE on the AUG version and 29F0 on the MAY and DEC ver. These point to dummy code which does nothing. Other I/O vectors are unchanged. BANK 1 : MMU configuration register value $7F, or preconfig register #2 (FF02) 0000 to 01FF common with BANK 0 0200 to FFFF common with Z-80 memory map in BANK 1 Note: You cannot normally access the CP/M TPA zero page or page 1 directly from 8502 mode because it is replaced by the BANK 0 common RAM when the 8502 is turned on.
