Hi Ruud,

All addresses I give are for the C64, except when it is in the format
8:$xxxx, when it indicates a 1541 address.
When the IEC bus is closed, the computer sends a listen and immediately
an unlisten (if the secondary address is positive) ($F642-$F658).
The listen works as follows:
The computer sets ATN ($ED2E-$ED33), takes CLK low ($ED37) and DATA
high ($ED3A). Then it waits 1 ms ($ED3D) to let all devices react. The
devices have to pull DATA low. If DATA is not low, we get a device not
present error (check in $ED44-$ED47). Now, CLK is pushed high again
($ED49).
Now we get a wait ($ED5A-$ED5D): We wait, until DATA is high. This
waiting doesn't have any time-out, so a device is free to delay this
as long as it wants.
Remember: The DATA line is held low by hardware on the floppy side
when an ATN is encountered (the XOR UD3, 74LS86, does this). The
IRQ-Routine (8:$FE67-FE84 and 8:$E853-$E85A) just sets a flag.
Now, the main loop (starting at 8:$EBE7) tests this flag (8:$EC00-$EC04)
and jumps to the bus routine if it is set (8:$E85B). This bus routine
sets CLOCK high, DATA low (8:$E86D-$E870 - but: It is already low because
of the ATN) and clears the answer for the ATN (8:$E873-$E878 - UC3.PB4 is
set high, so the ATN does not hold DATA low anymore. But it is low since
we already set DATA OUT, UC3.PB1, to hold DATA low.
Now, it waits for CLOCK to become high again and then gets the command from
the bus.
So, we see set when the floppy is busy, it does not have time to go in
the main loop, thus it holds DATA low when ATN is selected all the time,
so the computer cannot do anything but wait.
I hope I have written all correct.
Spiro.
