About the Updateable Attribute Memory
The total size of the Attribute Memory is 8 KBytes, ranging from 0000h to 1FFFh. Inter-
nally, an EEPROM is used to meet design requirements. During the Attribute Memory
Read cycle, there is no difference from reading regular memory. During the write cycle, a
special escape sequence must be followed to enable the write operation (see ATMEL data
sheets).
Sample code to enable the chip write protection:
write_enable
proc
push
es
push
bx
push
cx
mov
ax, mapped_seg
:select the segment
mov
es, ax
mov
bx, 1555h
; write AAh to 1555h
mov
byte ptr es:[bx], 0aah
mov
bx, 0aaah
; write 55h to 0AAAh
mov
byte ptr es:[bx], 55h
mov
bx, 1555h
; write A0h to 1555h
mov
byte ptr es:[bx], 0a0h
