PCW Boot Strap Program for use with M.E.S.S.
by Kevin Thacker

This archive should include a .asm file and a .bin file.
The .asm file will assemble with a MAXAM compatible assembler.

The PCW system doesn't have a boot rom. 

During the boot up procedure a boot-strap program is supplied
by the printer chip.

This is my own implementation of the functionality of the 
boot-strap program.

No dumps are currently available of this program. If anyone
is capable to do so, or willing to lend their PCW for this procedure,
please contact the MESS team, where someone who is more able will be 
able to help.

The bootstrap progam is simple. It performs a read of 
track 0, side 0,sector 1, and loads it to &f000 in CPU memory.
This is then executed at &f010 to continue the boot procedure.
(Normally CP/M is then loaded)

PLEASE NOTE: The actual boot-strap program is 
(c) Amstrad plc and (c) Locomotive Software Limited.
