Thanks for responding. This sounds reasonable. I'm ok with using the
.TTYOU and .TTYIN macros which call EMT's for actual programs in
RT-11. But, while learning, there are some things like this that I
want to do that may be tricky/ill advised to do in RT-11. <br>
<br>
What do you think the easiest way is to load a program like this
directly onto the bare hardware (simulated, of course)?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Don't do that. Use the RT-11 syscalls instead.
Or load your program into the (emulated) bare hardware, and have fun.

.title getc
.mcall .exit
TKS = 177560

;TPB = 177566
begin:
inc TKS ;set the ASR read enable bit
getc:
tstb TKS ;is a character available?
bpl getc ;loop until there is
movb TKB,R0 ;put the character into register 0
.exit
.end begin
I would expect the console to wait until I typed a single character
and then for the program to exit. What is happening is that the
program appears to accept any number of characters and only ends when
I type CTRL-C twice.
Here are some questions that arise:
1. Is it reasonable to expect to be able to read directly from the ASR
Keyboard buffer while running RT-11 in SimH or does this somehow
compete with the running OS? (I can print characters using the ASR
Punch Buffer just fine)
2. Is there a flaw in the program? (Nevermind that it doesn't do
anything much with the character).
3. Is this a totally abnormal way to read a character?
4. What's up with needing to hit CTRL-C twice?
Answers to any of the above would be appreciated or if you have
something else, that's fine too.
Thanks,
Will
