The 2 notes that follow are the only replies I have received: ------------------------------------------------------------------ >From ucbvax!vax135!gks Fri May 1 16:46:14 1981 Two BTL TM's on VAX-11/780 Microprogramming: 1) TM81-11353-1, "A General-Purpose Microassembler for Generating VAX-11/780 Microcode", G. K. Swanson. This TM describes a microassembler, written in C (not using LEX or YACC), that is similar to DEC's MICRO2 microassembler - it has been used by me and the author of the following TM. 2) TM81-59473-2, "Microcoding the VAX-11/780 Writable Control Store", R. H. Hardin. This TM describes the VAX-11/780 micromachine layout in general and gives some examples/results of a couple of micro- programmed applications.

In fact, the reason the floppy support was put in relatively early in the game was for us to rewrite micro-code files. You can get it as UCB/ERL Memorandum No. M79/65 (september '79). The lady was rude to me on the phone. I asked if we might save some paper work and just have it mailed out. She said that there was a copying charge of 10 cents/page (for 138 pages) is $13.80. She would have to have a check made out to the regents, (intercampus funds vouchers will not do), BEFORE she would mail it out. You must send the check to: UC ERL Publications office 433 Cory Hall.
