       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Loader
    Summary: Set the various vectors, interrupts and timers, and terminate the
             loading process so the vector handlers can take over
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 Variations: See code variations for this subroutine in the different versions
 References: No direct references to this subroutine in this source file


.STARTUP

 LDA RDCHV              \ Store the current RDCHV vector in newosrdch(2 1),
 STA newosrdch+1        \ which modifies the address portion of the JSR &FFFF
 LDA RDCHV+1            \ instruction at the start of the newosrdch routine and
 STA newosrdch+2        \ changes it to a JSR to the existing RDCHV address

 LDA #LO(newosrdch)     \ Disable interrupts and set WRCHV to newosrdch, so
 SEI                    \ calls to OSRDCH are now handled by newosrdch, which
 STA RDCHV              \ lets us implement all our custom OSRDCH commands
 LDA #HI(newosrdch)
 STA RDCHV+1

 LDA #%00111001         \ Set 6522 System VIA interrupt enable register IER
 STA VIA+&4E            \ (SHEILA &4E) bits 0 and 3-5 (i.e. disable the Timer1,
                        \ CB1, CB2 and CA2 interrupts from the System VIA)

IF _SNG45 OR _SOURCE_DISC

 LDA #%01111111         \ Set 6522 User VIA interrupt enable register IER
 STA &FE6E              \ (SHEILA &6E) bits 0-7 (i.e. disable all hardware
                        \ interrupts from the User VIA)

ELIF _EXECUTIVE

 LDA #%01111111         \ At this point, the other 6502SP versions set the 6522
                        \ User VIA interrupt enable register IER to this value
                        \ to disable all hardware interrupts from the User VIA,
                        \ but the Executive version is missing the STA &FE6E
                        \ instruction, so it doesn't disable all the interrupts.
                        \ This is because the Watford Electronics Beeb Speech
                        \ Synthesiser that the Executive version supports plugs
                        \ into the user port, which is controlled by the 6522
                        \ User VIA, so this ensures we don't disable the speech
                        \ synthesiser if one is fitted

                        \ for a subroutine, and it will be called just before

                        \ Fall through into PUTBACK to point WRCHV to USOSWRCH,
