Catalog Nos. 642024 (9300)
MONARCH BOOTSTRAP LOADER (BOOTSTRAP)
To load the MO NARC H Loader from the system tape and transfer control to
it.
Determines the memory size of the computer in which it is being executed and
then loads the MONARCH Loader Routine upper (higher addresses) memory by
reading relocatable binary records from the MONARCH system tape and load-
ing them into upper memory.
Execute magnetic tape" FILL" procedure for magnetic tape unit 0 (on the W
buffer for 900 Series Computers, or on Channel A for 9300 Computers).
A
tape reel containing a MONARCH system tape must be positioned at load
point on tape unit 0 (on the W buffer for 900 Series Computers or Channel A
for 9300 Computers).
This program has been written so that it can be executed only if loaded rela-
tive to memory location 2.
However, since a
1\
address references are abso-
lute, it can be loaded relative to any reasonable memory location prior to
being recorded on the system tape as an absolute program. No PROGRAMMED
OPERATORS are used.
Approximately 3008 or 19210 memory locations.
