Code:
mov edi,buffer
add edi,[Base]
cld
rep insw


The problem is here:
Code:
mov esi,buffer
cld
rep outsw

When I run the outsw without the base it almost works fine..
It causes an unhanled exception but writes the data correctly..
or if I add the base I get junk for the output and no exception..

the insw runs fine - reads and no exceptions with the base..
Is there something I am missing with the rep outsw that would
cause this?
I know there is something being overlooked by me...

Thanks in advance for any help!

still same results//

With 'rep' you are using ecx - that's ok?

Some output to ports doesn't like 'rep outs' because it's too fast.

yes - mov ecx,256

I have gone over it a million times..
but still running across this prob..

but that would cause it not to work with or with out the base..
with the base no crash.. just junk out

I think you need to show ALL your code. We can't keep guessing like this!

Code:
      mov   edx,[hdbase] 
      
hddwait3: 
        mov    dx,0x1f7 ;<------- Hmm?
        in    al,dx 
        test  al,128 
        jnz   hddwait3 
 
      
      rep   outsw  ;DX=0x1F7, is that what you want?

Why do you have the fixed value 0x1F7? Are you using a different hdbase or is that fixed to 0x1F0? Or what? Why have the fixed value 0x1F7 at all, it is going to cause you problems if you try to change to a different base.

value 0x1F7
Code:
mov    dx,0x1f7  
in    al,dx   
test  al,128   
jnz   hddwait3

this is a function to test the hd before writing..

This is the HD Base:
mov edx,[hdbase]
pushad
;hd test function
popad

rep outsw

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
mov esi,buffer
add esi,base ; this gives me junk when I read it back
mov ecx,256
mov edx,[hdbase]

but if its not in it causes an unhand exception..

mov esi,buffer
;removed base add on ; this gives me junk when I read it back
mov ecx,256
mov edx,[hdbase]

this write correct but causes an excption
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Why not use this instead:
Code:
...
mov edx,[hdbase]
add edx,7
...
It would make your function work for all HDD bases. Then "All you HDD bases are belong to your function". Wink


What is the value of hdbase? Is it 0x1F0?

Since you haven't shown all your code I have to guess what you have done. Sad

But what is buffer? What is base? Should that be "add esi,[base]"? Question

mov esi,buffer ;<- this gives me junk when I read it back
add esi,[base]
yes! typo sorry.. getting a little sleepy...

but thats what I have been trying..
the read function works fine..
with the add edi,[base]
write funtion: add esi,[base]...

just not the write function..

Thanks rev.. and sinsi

I will post more tomorrow after getting some rest..

I wonder if there an int that needs cleard that maybe I have as an unhand exception.. for the HD

yep that was it... I have been writing a real mode program for the last few weeks.. and when I when back to PM.. I did everthing but add the int handler for the Disk Drive..

Works fine now...

Thanks again..
