00A6
Address to the routine for device test
Tests if a given device (given in IOCB) is present and ready.
R2 = return address, R3 = address of IOCB
If the device is ready the routine jumps back to R2+2 else "ERROR 0xx yyy" in line 16 is printed and a jump to R2 is done.
00A8
Highest available RWS address
After restart it is the same value as in $00AA; after loading some IMFs or Customer Support Routine this value decreases.
00AA
Last available address in R/W Storage (RAM).
This is the location of the last main memory address. A 32kB system will have a value of $7FFF.
00AC
Address of routine to jump into Executable ROS
R2 = return address, R8 = destination address in ROS, eventually with additional parameters depending on the function called
00AE
Address of the I/O Supervisor Routine in Executable ROS that executes all I/O operations controlled by an IOCB.
00B0
Scan- or keycode of last pressed key
00B6
00BE
Address of the first usable memory location, usually $0700.
At ($BE)-$20 the system code 'IBM5100 ' (13 chars.) can be found, like the one needed for the directory entry on a diskette.
Attention: Several ROS routines use that area as temporary storage and for internal variables! For example the vector table for the supervisor routines is located at $07C0.
00C0
Address of the Screen Dump Routine in Executable ROS
This routine is called e.g. by pressing the keys CMD-Print.
00D2
Temporary storage for Diskette I/O Supervisor
Return address to caller of I/O Supervisor
00D6
(IMF flags)
    Bit 14: 1=Translated Sort Message installed
00D8
Address of the vector table containing the entry points to the I/O Supervisor, for device addresses 0 to F. Each table entry consists of two words, the first word is the address of the builtin (ROS) I/O Routine, the second word, if not zero, the address of a user defined routine in RWS.
