OCCURRED.

2.FINAL RETURNS:

STATUS WORD BIT 13:

IF CLEAR, SOMEHOW RESTORE

 

REGISTER

(RTE)

SET AND PERFORM AN RTE. IF SET,

THE FIRST RETURN FROM THE SCSI

FIRM-

WARE (COMMAND THREAD) AND THE

USER

SHOULD RETURN TO WHOMEVER

CALLED

THE DRIVER (RTS, ETC.).

SAMPLE RETURN CODE FOR ONE OF MANY CALLERS OF THE SCSI FIRMWARE:

Note

It may not be clear to the casual reader that address register A3 is not modified in this return code. If an RTE is to be executed, address register A3 points to the register save area. The subroutine RESTORE_REG uses register A3 to restore the registers D0 through D7 and A0 through A6. If a reentry to the RTE entry is executed, the address register A3 must remain intact.

(SCSI_RET: is the label that is pointed to by the vector provided in the user packet.)

SCSI_RET:
