+<br />Written by Mike Askins (May 1985)</h2>
+
+<p>This Technical Note documents SmartPort call information which is notfound in the descriptions of SmartPort in the Apple IIGS FirmwareReference and the Apple IIc Technical Reference Manual, Second Edition.  The device-specific information which had been included in this Note isnow found in these manuals.</p>

+

+
+
+<h2>STATUS Calls</h2>
+
+<p>A STATUS call with unit number = $00 and status code = $00 is a request to return the status of the SmartPort host, as opposed to unit numbers greater than zero which return the status of individual devices.  The number of devices as well as the current interrupt status is returned.  The format of the status list returned is illustrated in Figure 1.</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+           +------------------+
+    Byte 0 |   Device Count   |
+           +------------------+

+
+              Figure 1 - Host General Status Return Information

+<h3>Stat_list</h3>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>byte 0</dt><dd>Number of devices</dd>
+<dt>byte 1</dt><dd>Interrupt Status (If bit 6 is set, then no interrupt)</dd>

+<br>$0002-$FFFF: Third-party driver</dd>
+<dt>bytes 4-5</dt><dd>Interface Version</dd>
+<dt>bytes 6-7</dt><dd>Reserved (must be $0000)</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>The Number of devices byte tells the caller the total number of devices hooked to this slot or port.</p>
+
+<p>The Interrupt Status byte is used by programs which try to determine if the SmartPort was the source of an interrupt.  If bit 6 of this byte is clear, there is a device (or devices) in the chain that require interrupt service.
+
+You cannot use this value to determine which device in the chain is actually interrupting.  Your interrupt handler, having determined that a SmartPort interrupt has occurred, must poll each device on the chain to find out which device requires service.  The UniDisk 3.5 and Memory Expansion Card do not generate interrupts, so in these cases, this byte has bit 6 set.</p>
+
+<p>The vendor ID number may be used to determine the manufacturer of a specific SmartPort peripheral interface card, a useful piece of information when dealing with device-specific calls.  Contact Apple Developer Technical Support if you require a specific vendor ID number.  The version word follows the 
+SmartPort Interface Version definition described later in this Note.</p>
+
+
+<h2>CONTROL Codes</h2>
+
+<p>Before May 1988, control code $04 was defined as device-specific.  It is now defined as EJECT, and all SmartPort devices which support removable media must support this call.  If a device does not support removable media, it should simply return from this call without an error.</p>
+
+<p>Note that the Apple II SCSI card firmware was revised in early 1988 to support this change.</p>
+
+
+<h2>INIT</h2>
+
+<p>An application should never make an INIT call (SmartPort code $05), since doing so is likely to destroy operating system integrity and may cause media damage as well.</p>
+
+<p>If you are writing your own operating system (not encouraged) and need to reset all SmartPort devices, the INIT call with unit number = $00 will do just that.  Note that SmartPort devices cannot be selectively reset, and INIT must never be made at all with any unit number other than $00.</p>
+
+
+<h2>SmartPort Interface Version Definition</h2>
+
+<p>The SmartPort Interface Version definition uses the most significant nibble of the word as the major version number, the next two most significant nibbles as the minor version number, and the least significant nibble as a release indicator:</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+    $0 = Final    $A = Alpha    $B = Beta    $E = Experimental
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>Therefore, the interface version word for an experimental SmartPort interface 1.15 would be $115E while the interface version word for SmartPort interface 2.0 would be $2000.  GS/OS driver version numbers also follow this definition.</p>

+<p>This Technical Note formerly described the SmartPort Bus architecture, but this information is now documented in the Apple IIGS Firmware Reference.</p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<p>Do not be confused by the name "SmartPort Bus" architecture.  The information in the Apple IIGS Firmware Reference describes the mechanics of how devices interface with the disk port on a IIGS or IIc and with the UniDisk 3.5 Interface card on a ][+ or IIe.  It is not necessary to understand this information to use SmartPort firmware calls, nor do all devices which have SmartPort firmware necessarily have to connect mechanically through the disk port or UniDisk 3.5 Interface card.</p>
+
+<p>The physical or electrical side of the hardware is called the "SmartPort Bus,"  while the firmware protocols are called the "SmartPort Interface."  Although the term "SmartPort" can refer to either or both parts, it is most often used to refer to the SmartPort Interface.  Only those developers who are designing products which will attach to either the IIGS or IIc disk port or to the UniDisk 3.5 Interface card need be concerned with the SmartPort Bus architecture.  Software developers need not learn about the SmartPort Bus architecture to use the SmartPort Interface firmware.</p>

+<h2>Revised by Matt Deatherage and Llew Roberts (November 1990)
+<br />Written by Rilla Reynolds and Matt Deatherage (May 1988)</h2>
+
+<p>This Technical Note describes two CONTROL codes which have changed in 
+revision C of the Apple II SCSI card firmware.</p>
+
+<p><em>Changes since January 1989:</em>  Added notes about the Apple II 
+High-Speed SCSI Card.</p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<p>Revision C of the Apple II SCSI card firmware includes two CONTROL code changes.</p>
+
+<p>CONTROL code $04, previously defined as FORMAT, is now defined as
+EJECT.  This change reflects the revised SmartPort requirement that all
+devices maintain CONTROL code $04 as EJECT.  See <a
+href="tn.smpt.2.html">SmartPort Technical Note #2</a>, SmartPort Calls
+Updated, for more information.  CONTROL code $15 is now defined as FORMAT
+instead of RESERVED.  Note that there are two EJECT calls in this version,
+as CONTROL code $26 is still defined as EJECT.</p>
+
+<p>To determine which version of the SCSI ROM is on any particular Apple
+II SCSI Interface Card, issue a $03 SmartPort STATUS call.  The revision C
+SCSI ROM returns the word $0200.  This does not follow the SmartPort
+Interface Version scheme described in <a href="tn.smpt.2.html">SmartPort
+Technical Note #2</a>.  However, future revisions of the Apple II SCSI
+card will follow this scheme.  Therefore, applications should expect any
+SmartPort SCSI firmware to behave as described in this Note if the version
+number is $0200 or if it is greater than or equal to $2000.  The Apple II
+High-Speed SCSI Card returns version $3000 (3.0).
+
+<p>To maintain compatibility with the Apple II High-Speed SCSI Card and future
+SCSI products, you should use the following guidelines when programming with
+the revision C card:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Avoid access to the hardware or any RAM locations on the SCSI card.</li>
+<li>Do not use the Patch1Call, SetNewSDAT, or SetBlockSize control calls.</li>
+
+<li>For devices with a block size other than 512 bytes, use the SmartPort Read 
+and Write calls.  Do not use ReadBlock and WriteBlock calls for these devices, 
+since they only read or write the first 512 bytes of a block.  The Read and 
+Write calls may also be used for devices with a 512-byte block size.</li>
+
+<li>Never Reset the SCSI bus.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The Apple II SCSI Card firmware was designed to operate with SCSI CD-ROM and
+disk drives only; however, the Apple II High-Speed SCSI Card works with most
+SCSI devices, including removable drives, scanners, and tape backup units.</p>

+<h2>Revised by Matt Deatherage (November 1990)
+<br>Written by Matt Deatherage (November 1988)</h2>
+
+<p>This Technical Note documents two bugs in the Apple IIgs SmartPort firmware.</p>
+
+<p><em>Changes since November 1988:</em>  Documented corrections in ROM 03 and an additional ROM 03 bug.</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<p>Developers should be aware of the following two bugs in the Apple IIgs ROM 01 SmartPort firmware:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>SmartPort accidentally uses locations $57 through $5A on the zero page without saving and restoring them first.  There is some confusion as to whether these bytes are used on the absolute zero page or on the caller's direct page.  This is a moot point -- SmartPort calls are required to be made from full-emulation mode. This requirement means the emulation bit must be set and the data bank and direct page registers must both be set to zero.  The bytes are used on the absolute zero page, as that should be the direct page when SmartPort is called.</li>
+
+<li>If an extended SmartPort CONTROL call is made, the CONTROL list must not start at $FFFE or $FFFF of any bank.  The IIgs SmartPort interface does not increment the bank pointer when moving past the two-byte CONTROL list length.  If a CONTROL list starts one or two bytes before a bank boundary, SmartPort will incorrectly read the list from the beginning of that bank, instead of the beginning of the next bank.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The ROM 03 firmware fixes these bugs; however, it has a bug in the ResetHook device-specific CONTROL call for the Apple 3.5" Drive.  With this bug, hook numbers of nine or greater crash the machine.  At present, hook numbers in this range are invalid, so this bug should not be a problem.</p>
