Operation
Before describing the operation of
DASMx
in detail, here is an overview of how
the disassembler will be typically used in practice.
First, you must obtain a file containing a binary image of the code/data that you
wish to disassemble. Typically, this will be from one or more ROMs or EPROMs
that have been read using a PROM programmer. Some PROM programmers
output data in a form of ASCII hexadecimal format (Intel and Motorola are two
common formats). If that is the case, then you must use a conversion utility to
generate a raw binary image. A good check that you have a correct binary image
of a complete ROM is that the file length (shown by a DIR command) will be a
