N: SIO Command 'S' Status

SIO Command Status ($53) ['S']

This is a command for Devices $71-$78 - The N: Device (see SIO-Commands-for-Device-IDs-$71-to-$78).

Description

For Atari, Return the status of the currently opened protocol channel, in the following format:

Offset	Description
0	LO Byte of # of bytes waiting
1	HI Byte of # of bytes waiting
2	0=Disconnected, 1=Connected
3	Extended Error code

It is expected that the buffer point to the DVSTAT location in the OS ($02EA)

Parameters

DCB	Value
DDEVIC	$71
DUNIT	$01 - $04
DCOMND	$53 'S'
DSTATS	$40
DBUF	DVSTAT
DTIMLO	$0F
DBYT	4
DAUX1	N: Status DAUX1 Values
DAUX2	N: Status DAUX2 Values

Coleco Adam Implementation

AdamNet has a specific STATUS command (which can be retrieved using the EOS REQUEST STATUS and EOS GET STATUS BYTE commands), this is used to return a bit field

bit #	Description
0	Client has data available
1	Client is connected
2	Client has an error
3	Server connection available (client is waiting)
4	Server error
5	NOT USED
6	NOT USED
7	NOT USED

Examples

ATARI

CC65

  // Get # of bytes waiting
  OS.dcb.ddevic=0x71;
  OS.dcb.dunit=1;
  OS.dcb.dcomnd='S';
  OS.dcb.dstats=0x40;
  OS.dcb.dbuf=&status;
  OS.dcb.dtimlo=0x0f;
  OS.dcb.dbyt=4;
  OS.dcb.daux=0;
  siov();

  bw=(status[1]<<8)+status[0];
  connected=status[2];
