CMN - detection of presence bit accessing the destination address #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
At the end of the CMN (Enter Character Mode In Line) instruction, it executes a 
portion of the RDA (Recall Destination Address) instruction starting at J=2 to 
load the character-mode destination address. If the TOS word is a descriptor, 
the instruction checks for presence, and if not sets the presence-bit 
interrupt. Neither the Reference Manual or Training Manual state whether this 
interrupt is inhibited in Control State. We are going to assume it is.

Inspection of the flows (RDA, 2.16.0) confirms that p-bit is set only if NCSF 
is also set.
