Help with ADAM Ports (need complete list)

[Captain Cozmos]

As part of my never ending conversion of the FPGA ADAM I have run into a weird port that I can not find in my technical manual.
 

Now, maybe I need to walk away and look again, I have been at this for 11 hours now but in case it's not just fatigue, can someone PM me or direct me to a link or document.

I was disassembling some software for testing which came up with out (78)

Like I said, maybe I'm just tired.  I know the standard ports like 7F to setup memory, the sound, controllers but I do not remember encountering 78.

If I had to guess, this is probably an obscure video port access or some deal.  I'll try some tests either way.

feel free to share your thoughts.

Check out the I/O Port Address List that is available. I don’t know if it’s complete, but should help.

The most complete list I've seen is in the ADAM MAME source. It shows 60-7F as memory bank switch port, but you already knew that.

 

"60-7F     Memory Bank Switch Port       Input MAY be available   Output is NOT available"

It was used several times with different values so I will write some findings after I experiment a bit.
Who knows, maybe I learned some top secret Coleco stuff.
Actually when you disassemble the high end ADAM programs you learn some cool &&&&.
Talking about the Disk Manager, EOS, LOGO.  Next on my list is Expertype.
