Problem 2

Write a trap routine that reads a single character typed on the keyboard. If that character is an upper-case letter, it is echoed to the CRT. Otherwise, it is ignored.

Your program should use the keyboard and CRT device registers.

        .ORIG   x0C00
HW7TRP  ST      R0,R0SAV         ; Save used registers
        ST      R1,R1SAV

HW7INL  LDI     R1,AKBSR         ; Loop to read input character
        BRzp    HW7INL
        LDI     R0,AKBDR

        LD      R1,ASC0
        ADD     R1,R0,R1         ; R1 = CHAR - '0'
        BRn     HW7RET           ; Don't echo is CHAR < '0'
        ADD     R1,R1,#-9        ; R1 = CHAR - '9'
        BRp     HW7RET           ; Don't echo if CHAR > '9'

HW7OUL  LDI     R1,ACRTSR        ; Loop to read output character
        BRzp    HW7OUL
        STI     R0,ACRTDR

HW7RET  LD      R0,R0SAV
        LD      R1,R1SAV
        RET

ASC0    .FILL   #-48; -'0'
AKBSR   .FILL   xF400
AKBDR   .FILL   xF401
