Let me continue, and we can open a contest for
writing the shortest
bootstrap! ;-)
Hardware ... Reset button :)
... and then what...??? :-)
Picky ...
Well reset clear's the track,sector,head and DMA address registers.
Clears the cpu's PC and sets the halt F/F and clears IRQ F/F.
Then you jam 'read sector' into the disk controler. The DISK_DONE Irq
clears
the halt F/F.
