<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578255 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177147/">Barry Walker</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/amiga/">amiga</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/demo/">demo</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/e_uae/">e_uae</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/hardware/">hardware</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/memory/">memory</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/poke/">poke</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/winuae/">winuae</a>). </p> <p>For AMIGA-Heads Only...</p> <p>This code is purely for a minimum of a stock Classic AMIGA A1200(HD), E-UAE, and WinUAE running AMIGA OS3.0x to 3.1x. It will NOT work on any other platform!</p> <p>(It MIGHT work on AMIGA OS3.5x and 3.9x with Python 2.4.6, but totally untested and I hold no responsibility for the outcome when trying it.)</p> <p>It is a DEMO to poke a byte inside _ANY_ memory address inside the standard CPU 68EC020 16MB boundary.</p> <p>This is not a function nor a class but just a DEMO to show how to write directly to HW, (or memory), addresses.</p> <p>POKING memory or hardware addresses is not recommended for novices without studying the machine first, and, this code will ignore any _ENFORCER_hits_.</p> <p>I experimented with this several years ago and have decided to finally release it. I do await the flak!</p> <p>It works from Python Versions 1.4.0 to 2.0.1 for the classic AMIGA.</p> <p>This is issued as Public Domain and you may do with it as you please.</p> <p>Ensure that the T: Volume exists on the running machine.</p> <p>See inside the code and text below it also as to how it works...</p> <p>Bazza, G0LCU...</p>
