DeskTop diassembly notes

DESKTOP.SYSTEM

A short (8k) loader program. This is likely responsible for copying the rest to a RAM card (if available), then invoking the main app.

DESKTOP2.$F1

This is large - 111k. It includes a loader, the DeskTop app (with both main memory and aux memory segments, filling everything from $4000 to $FFFF (except for I/O space and ProDOS), and still having more code - probably the disk copy code which is swapped in dynamically.

The file is broken down into multiple segments:

  • segment 0: load - offset $0000, length $0580, loaded at $2000
  • segment 1: aux1 - offset $0580, length $8000, loaded at $4000 (through $BFFF)
  • segment 2: aux2 - offset $8580, length $1D00, loaded at $D000 (through $ECFF)
  • segment 3: aux2 - offset $A280, length $0500, loaded at $FB00 (through $FFFF)
  • segment 4: main - offset $A780, length $7F00, loaded at $4000 (through $BEFF)
    • main $BF00-$BFFF is ProDOS buffers
    • main $C000-$CFFF is I/O space
    • main $D000-$FFFF is ProDOS
  • segment 5: TBD - 38k so must be further subdivided. Disk Copy???

Structure

GUI Library "A2D"

AUX $4000-$8DFF is the GUI library used for the DeskTop application and (presumably) for disk copy and Selector apps (TBD).

Entry point is $4000 with a ProDOS MLI-style calling convention

  • Font is at $8800

"DeskTop" Application

AUX $8E00-$FFFF (with hole at $C000-$CFFF for I/O and at $ED00-$FAFF for data buffer) is the DeskTop application itself, with desktop and file icons, menus, dialogs, and so on.
