2. GRI-909 Features

The GRI-909 is configured as follows:

device		simulates
name(s)

CPU		GRI-909 CPU with up to 32KW of memory
HSR		S42-004 high speed reader
HSP		S42-004 high speed punch
TTI		S42-001 Teletype input
TTO		S42-002 Teletype output
RTC		real-time clock

The GRI-909 simulator implements the following unique stop conditions:

	- an unimplemented operator is referenced, and register
	  STOP_OPR is set
	- an invalid interrupt request is made

The LOAD commands has an optional argument to specify the load address:

	LOAD <filename> {<starting address>}

The LOAD command loads a paper-tape bootstrap format file at the specified
address.  If no address is specified, loading starts at location 200.  The
DUMP command is not supported.

2.1 CPU

The only CPU options are the presence of the extended arithmetic operator
and the size of main memory.

	SET CPU EAO		enable extended arithmetic operator
	SET CPU NOEAO		disable extended arithmetic operator
	SET CPU 4K		set memory size = 4K
	SET CPU 8K		set memory size = 8K
	SET CPU 12K		set memory size = 12K
	SET CPU 16K		set memory size = 16K
	SET CPU 20K		set memory size = 20K
	SET CPU 24K		set memory size = 24K
	SET CPU 28K		set memory size = 28K
	SET CPU 32K		set memory size = 32K

If memory size is being reduced, and the memory being truncated contains
non-zero data, the simulator asks for confirmation.  Data in the truncated
portion of memory is lost.  Initial memory size is 32K.

CPU registers include the visible state of the processor as well as the
control registers for the interrupt system.

2.2 Programmed I/O Devices

2.2.1 S42-004 High Speed Reader (HSR)

The paper tape reader (HSR) reads data from or a disk file.  The POS
register specifies the number of the next data item to be read.  Thus,
by changing POS, the user can backspace or advance the reader.

The paper tape reader implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	IRDY		1	device ready flag
	IENB		1	device interrupt enable flag
	POS		32	position in the input file
	TIME		24	time from I/O initiation to interrupt
	STOP_IOE	1	stop on I/O error

Error handling is as follows:

	error	     STOP_IOE	processed as

	not attached	1	report error and stop
			0	out of tape

	end of file	1	report error and stop
			0	out of tape

	OS I/O error	x	report error and stop

2.2.2 S42-006 High Speed Punch (HSP)

The paper tape punch (HSP) writes data to a disk file.  The POS
register specifies the number of the next data item to be written.
Thus, by changing POS, the user can backspace or advance the punch.

The paper tape punch implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	ORDY		1	device ready flag
	IENB		1	device interrupt enable flag
	POS		32	position in the output file
	TIME		24	time from I/O initiation to interrupt
	STOP_IOE	1	stop on I/O error

Error handling is as follows:

	error	     STOP_IOE	processed as

	not attached	1	report error and stop
			0	out of tape

	OS I/O error	x	report error and stop

2.2.3 S42-001 Teletype Input (TTI)

The Teletype interfaces (TTI, TTO) can be set to one of three modes:
KSR, 7B, or 8B.  In KSR mode, lower case input and output characters
are automatically converted to upper case, and the high order bit is
forced to one on input.  In 7B mode, input and output characters are
masked to 7 bits.  In 8B mode, characters are not modified.  Changing
the mode of either interface changes both.  The default mode is KSR.

The Teletype input (TTI) polls the console keyboard for input.  It
implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	IRDY		1	device ready flag
	IENB		1	device interrupt enable flag
	POS		32	position in the output file
	TIME		24	keyboard polling interval

2.2.4 S42-002 Teletype Output (TTO)

The Teletype output (TTO) writes to the simulator console window.  It
implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	ORDY		1	device ready flag
	IENB		1	device interrupt enable flag
	POS		32	number of characters output
	TIME		24	time from I/O initiation to interrupt

2.2.5 Real-Time Clock (RTC)

The real-time clock (CLK) implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	RDY		1	device ready flag
	IENB		1	interrupt enable flag
	TIME		24	clock interval

The real-time clock autocalibrates; the clock interval is adjusted up or
down so that the clock tracks actual elapsed time.

2.3 Symbolic Display and Input

The GRI-909 simulator implements symbolic display and input.  Display is
controlled by command line switches:

	-a			display as ASCII character
	-c			display as packed ASCII characters
	-m			display instruction mnemonics

Input parsing is controlled by the first character typed in or by command
line switches:

	' or -a			ASCII character
	" or -c			two packed ASCII characters
	alphabetic		instruction mnemonic
	numeric			octal number

Instruction input uses modified GRI-909 basic assembler syntax.  There are
thirteen different instruction formats.  Operators, functions, and tests may
be octal or symbolic; jump conditions and bus operators are always symbolic.
