Multiple hackers I posted a list of values, but seemingly my mails were too long for the list. I haven't seen them show up in the archives, but neither did I receive error messages. Hopefully it is awaiting moderator approval so they will show up eventually. Here are a few lines from what I posted: I wanted to note that the even values written by the dongle check routine all are powers of 2, i.e. contain exactly 1 bit that is set. Limiting initial research to such even values would probably be simpler. So I ran a test program a few times, for varying even values. The even value made no difference (at least for odd value = 1). I put the results in 4 columns below. I leave analysis to the group for now. ;/scratch2/tmp/eo3.prg ==0401== 100 q=61408 101 n$="eo3 105 dimv(255) 110 e=0:o=1 115 open 8,8,8,n$+"vl,s,w 116 print#8,"e =";e;"o =";o 120 poke q,e: poke q,o 130 v=peek(q) 140 printv; 145 print#8,v 150 v(v) = v(v)+ 1 160 n=n+1: if n < 2048 goto 120 200 for i = 0 to 255 210 if v(i) then print i;v(i): print#8,i;v(i) 220 next 230 close8 ;eo3vl,s.prg ;eo4-2-1vl,s.prg ;eo4-4-1vl,s.prg ;eo4-8-1vl,s.prg e=0 o=1 SEED=214 e=2 o=1 seed=214 e=4 o=1 seed=214 e=8 o=1 seed=214 198 $c6 %11000110 198 $c6 %11000110 198 $c6 %11000110 198 $c6 %11000110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 68 $44 %01000100 68 $44 %01000100 68 $44 %01000100 68 $44 %01000100 212 $d4 %11010100 212 $d4 %11010100 212 $d4 %11010100 212 $d4 %11010100 132 $84 %10000100 132 $84 %10000100 132 $84 %10000100 132 $84 %10000100 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 3 $03 %00000011 3 $03 %00000011 3 $03 %00000011 3 $03 %00000011 147 $93 %10010011 147 $93 %10010011 147 $93 %10010011 147 $93 %10010011 129 $81 %10000001 129 $81 %10000001 129 $81 %10000001 129 $81 %10000001 81 $51 %01010001 81 $51 %01010001 81 $51 %01010001 81 $51 %01010001 65 $41 %01000001 65 $41 %01000001 65 $41 %01000001 65 $41 %01000001 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 194 $c2 %11000010 194 $c2 %11000010 194 $c2 %11000010 194 $c2 %11000010 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 4 $04 %00000100 4 $04 %00000100 4 $04 %00000100 4 $04 %00000100 148 $94 %10010100 148 $94 %10010100 148 $94 %10010100 148 $94 %10010100 132 $84 %10000100 132 $84 %10000100 132 $84 %10000100 132 $84 %10000100 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 7 $07 %00000111 7 $07 %00000111 7 $07 %00000111 7 $07 %00000111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 193 $c1 %11000001 193 $c1 %11000001 193 $c1 %11000001 193 $c1 %11000001 81 $51 %01010001 81 $51 %01010001 81 $51 %01010001 81 $51 %01010001 65 $41 %01000001 65 $41 %01000001 65 $41 %01000001 65 $41 %01000001 ---- Here are more values, but this time I kept the even value constant and varied the odd value. I chose the values with (at most) one other 1 bit in the value, i.e. 1, 2+1, 4+1, 8+1, 16+1, 32+1, 64+1 and 128+1. Sorry for the 160-char wide text, but I put the columns such that they still look like columns in 80-char wide screens. All sequences were produced from a reset. (Toggle the 6502/6809 switch toward 6809 resets the disk drive, so there must be a physical reset. The other direction, towards 6502, doesn't reset the disk). Notice how long the sequences stay the same or very similar! "e=0 o=17" seems special because it has identical values in sequence. Also note on line 29 how the output values are 0, 2, 4, etc: the powers of 2, or the odd values - 1. Some of the columns do indeed have fairly few different values, but I didn't put in the histograms. The last column has all values over 128 (%1000 0000). ;eo3vl,s.prg ;eo4-0-3vl,s.prg ;eo4-0-5vl,s.prg ;eo4-0-9vl,s.prg ;eo4-0-17vl,s.prg ;eo4-0-33vl,s.prg ;eo4-0-65vl,s.prg ;eo4-0-129vl,s.prg e=0 o=1 SEED=214 e=0 o=3 seed=214 e=0 o=5 seed=214 e=0 o=9 seed=214 e=0 o=17 seed=214 e=0 o=33 seed=214 e=0 o=65 seed=214 e=0 o=129 seed=214 198 $c6 %11000110 198 $c6 %11000110 198 $c6 %11000110 198 $c6 %11000110 214 $d6 %11010110 198 $c6 %11000110 198 $c6 %11000110 198 $c6 %11000110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 214 $d6 %11010110 68 $44 %01000100 70 $46 %01000110 68 $44 %01000100 68 $44 %01000100 84 $54 %01010100 100 $64 %01100100 68 $44 %01000100 196 $c4 %11000100 212 $d4 %11010100 214 $d6 %11010110 212 $d4 %11010100 212 $d4 %11010100 212 $d4 %11010100 244 $f4 %11110100 212 $d4 %11010100 212 $d4 %11010100 132 $84 %10000100 134 $86 %10000110 132 $84 %10000100 132 $84 %10000100 148 $94 %10010100 164 $a4 %10100100 196 $c4 %11000100 132 $84 %10000100 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 87 $57 %01010111 151 $97 %10010111 3 $03 %00000011 3 $03 %00000011 7 $07 %00000111 3 $03 %00000011 19 $13 %00010011 3 $03 %00000011 67 $43 %01000011 131 $83 %10000011 147 $93 %10010011 147 $93 %10010011 151 $97 %10010111 155 $9b %10011011 147 $93 %10010011 147 $93 %10010011 211 $d3 %11010011 147 $93 %10010011 129 $81 %10000001 131 $83 %10000011 133 $85 %10000101 137 $89 %10001001 145 $91 %10010001 161 $a1 %10100001 193 $c1 %11000001 129 $81 %10000001 81 $51 %01010001 83 $53 %01010011 85 $55 %01010101 89 $59 %01011001 81 $51 %01010001 113 $71 %01110001 81 $51 %01010001 209 $d1 %11010001 65 $41 %01000001 67 $43 %01000011 69 $45 %01000101 73 $49 %01001001 81 $51 %01010001 97 $61 %01100001 65 $41 %01000001 193 $c1 %11000001 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 214 $d6 %11010110 218 $da %11011010 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 194 $c2 %11000010 194 $c2 %11000010 198 $c6 %11000110 202 $ca %11001010 210 $d2 %11010010 194 $c2 %11000010 194 $c2 %11000010 194 $c2 %11000010 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 94 $5e %01011110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 86 $56 %01010110 214 $d6 %11010110 4 $04 %00000100 6 $06 %00000110 4 $04 %00000100 12 $0c %00001100 20 $14 %00010100 36 $24 %00100100 68 $44 %01000100 132 $84 %10000100 148 $94 %10010100 150 $96 %10010110 148 $94 %10010100 148 $94 %10010100 148 $94 %10010100 180 $b4 %10110100 212 $d4 %11010100 148 $94 %10010100 132 $84 %10000100 134 $86 %10000110 132 $84 %10000100 132 $84 %10000100 148 $94 %10010100 164 $a4 %10100100 196 $c4 %11000100 132 $84 %10000100 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 23 $17 %00010111 87 $57 %01010111 151 $97 %10010111 7 $07 %00000111 7 $07 %00000111 7 $07 %00000111 7 $07 %00000111 23 $17 %00010111 7 $07 %00000111 71 $47 %01000111 135 $87 %10000111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 215 $d7 %11010111 193 $c1 %11000001 195 $c3 %11000011 197 $c5 %11000101 193 $c1 %11000001 209 $d1 %11010001 225 $e1 %11100001 193 $c1 %11000001 193 $c1 %11000001 81 $51 %01010001 83 $53 %01010011 85 $55 %01010101 81 $51 %01010001 81 $51 %01010001 113 $71 %01110001 81 $51 %01010001 209 $d1 %11010001 65 $41 %01000001 67 $43 %01000011 69 $45 %01000101 65 $41 %01000001 81 $51 %01010001 97 $61 %01100001 65 $41 %01000001 193 $c1 %11000001 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 214 $d6 %11010110 218 $da %11011010 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 210 $d2 %11010010 130 $82 %10000010 130 $82 %10000010 134 $86 %10000110 138 $8a %10001010 146 $92 %10010010 130 $82 %10000010 194 $c2 %11000010 130 $82 %10000010 18 $12 %00010010 18 $12 %00010010 22 $16 %00010110 26 $1a %00011010 18 $12 %00010010 18 $12 %00010010 82 $52 %01010010 146 $92 %10010010 0 $00 %00000000 2 $02 %00000010 4 $04 %00000100 8 $08 %00001000 16 $10 %00010000 32 $20 %00100000 64 $40 %01000000 128 $80 %10000000 -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- There's no point being grown-up if you \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- can't be childish sometimes. -The 4th Doctor Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2012-05-11 08:00:14
