OS_Mop, open memory (allocate memory pool)
RST 20H, DEFB $4E
IN:
A = memory mask arguments (several arguments OR'ed together): Destination segment (allocated memory addressed for segment): MM_S0 ($00), segment 0 MM_S1 ($40), segment 1 MM_S2 ($80), segment 2 MM_S3 ($C0), segment 3 Source of memory (to be allocated): MM_FIX ($02), fixed workspace (not subject to swapping) or MM_SLT ($04), explicit slot usage, mask also following: MC_CI ($10), internal memory MC_C1 ($01), card 1 MC_C2 ($02), card 2 MC_C3 ($03), card 3 Allocation variations: MM_EXC ($10), exclusive use of bank MM_MUL ($20), use multiple banks BC = 0, alwaysOUT, if call successful:
Fc = 0 IX = memory pool handleOUT, if call failed:
Fc = 1 A = error code: RC_NA ($06), handle not available RC_ROOM ($07), no roomRegisters changed after return:
A.FBCDEHL/..IY same .F......./IX.. differentNotes:
MM_EXC and MC_CI use the same argument bit. We don't know why, but believe its the same function (Internal & Explicit slot usage).Bugs:If only the memory segment mask are specified, it is probably default'ed to MM_MUL - for the rest of the arguments, we don't know.
MM_FIX is probably an internal usage.
