RIO firmware: disassemble v4.2, find the reply-wedge root cause

68HC11 recursive-descent disassembler (disasm_6811.py, follows the
pointer-based RX/TX state dispatch) + full disassembly + analysis doc.

Root cause of the stress wedge: an orphaned reply-in-progress latch
($2521). It gates every analog request ($D758); it is set when a reply is
generated ($D84C) but the 4-retry give-up path ($D9DD -> $DA2F) tears down
reply state without clearing it, and the success teardown ($DA00) clears
it only conditionally on $2522. Once leaked, all analog requests are
dropped -> board mute, while RX/event stays alive; only the game-start
host-reset command ($C686) clears it -- matching the field button-resync
ritual exactly. Proposed minimal in-place fix (clear $2521 on every
teardown) documented with byte patches and a hardware validation plan;
untested pending a spare EPROM. RIOv4_2-ANALYSIS.md has the details.

# RIO v4.2 firmware — protocol wedge analysis
Reverse-engineering of `RIOv4_2.bin` (Toshiba TMP68HC11, AM27C512) to find
the board-side cause of the "reply path wedges under stress, button-press
revives it" fault. Disassembly by `disasm_6811.py`
`RIOv4_2.disasm.asm`. **Research only** — the fix below is proposed, not
yet burned or tested (no spare EPROM on hand). Validate on hardware with
the `RIO_TAP` mash test before trusting.
Addresses are CPU = file offset (EPROM at `$C000-$FFFF`; reset `$FFFE`
`$C000`). RAM lives at `$20xx-$31xx`.
## How the serial protocol is structured
- **SCI interrupt** (`$FFD6``$D630`): `JSR $D634; RTI`. `$D634` runs BOTH
workers every interrupt: `JSR $D6EA` (RX) then `JSR $D887` (TX). So the
transmitter is poked after every received byte, not only on TX-empty
interrupts.
- **RX ISR** `$D6EA`: reads SCSR/SCDR, stores the byte at `$3172`, then
`LDX $292F; JMP $00,X` — dispatches through a **state-handler pointer**
at `$292F`. Handlers classify bytes (`$D717`: `FE`=RESTART, `FF`=IDLE,
`FC`/`FD`=game ACK/NAK, `$82`=analog request, table lookup at `$3144`),
accumulate the body + checksum (`AND $7F`), and on a complete packet run
the ACK/NAK decision at `$D81F`.
- **TX ISR** `$D887`: if TDRE, send a pending ACK (`$316F``$FC`) or NAK
(`$3170``$FD`), else dispatch through the TX state pointer `$2D3B`
(`$D8C2` ring-drain → `$D90E` reply/retry machine). When idle it disarms
the TX interrupt (SCCR2 `#$2C`, TIE off) at `$D918`; the enqueue routine
`$D63B` re-arms it (SCCR2 `#$AC`, TIE on) at `$D664`.
## The wedge: an orphaned "reply-in-progress" latch (`$2521`)
`$2521` = "an analog reply is in progress." The analog-request handler
gates on it:
```
D74F CMPB #$82 ; analog request from the game
D753 LDAA #$01
D755 STAA $2520 ; arm reply generation
D758 TST $2521 ; already replying?
D75B BNE $D77A ; YES -> D77A: CLR $2520, drop this request
```
So while `$2521` is set, **every analog request is silently dropped**.
The latch is set when a reply is generated:
```
D847 JSR $C5EC ; build the analog reply
D84C STAA $2521 ; reply-in-progress = 1
```
and is cleared in only three places: power-on init (`$C0A3`), a host
reset/init command handler (`$C686`), and the reply **success** teardown
(`$DA00`). The success teardown is reached at `$D9C1` when the game ACKs
the reply, and clears the latch — but only conditionally:
```
DA21 LDAA $2522 ; did the $87 reply byte actually start sending?
DA24 CMPA #$01
DA26 BNE $DA2E ; if not, skip the clears <-- fragile
DA28 CLR $2521
DA2B CLR $2522
```
`$2521` is set the instant the reply is *generated* (`$D84C`), but `$2522`
is set only once the `$87` command byte *starts transmitting* (`$D8FD`).
**The leak** is the retry-exhausted give-up path, which is *separate* from
the success teardown. When the game fails to ACK a reply, `$D90E`/`$D9BE`
retries up to 4 times, then gives up:
```
D9D5 LDAB #$FE ; give up: send RESTART
D9D7 STAB $102F ; SCDR
D9DA INC $317A
D9DD JMP $DA2F ; teardown -- but DA2F never touches $2521
```
`$DA2F` resets the TX pointers and calls `$D5F2` (a debug-counter
formatter that does *not* clear the latch), then returns. **`$2521` is
left set forever.** From then on every `$82` analog request is dropped at
`$D758` → the board is mute to analog while its RX/event path stays fully
alive.
### Why a button press / new game revives it
The only mid-run code that clears `$2521` is the host command handler at
`$C669-$C689` (it clears `$2520`/`$2521`/`$2522` plus a raft of state).
That runs for a host-level reset/init command — exactly what the game
sends at game-start / on the player's opening button actions. Mid-mission
button-mashing sends no such command, so the leaked latch stays stuck
until the next game-start reset. This matches the field observation
precisely: the board goes mute under stress and only a new-game/button
resync brings analog back.
### Why mash stress triggers it
Button-event traffic floods the link while the board is mid-analog-reply;
the reply's ACKs collide/drop, the 4-retry budget exhausts, and the
give-up path (`$DA2F`) fires — leaking the latch. Light traffic rarely
exhausts the retries, so it's a stress-only fault. Two different USB
adapters showed the identical stall because the defect is in the board,
not the transport — consistent with this being firmware, not timing.
## Proposed fix (minimal, in-place; UNTESTED)
Clear `$2521` on *every* reply teardown, not just the `$2522`-gated
success path. Two edits, no code-size change, 8 KB of free ROM exists at
`$DFF0-$FFBF` for the stub:
1. **Give-up path** — redirect its teardown through a stub that clears the
latch first. At `$D9DD` change `JMP $DA2F` (`7E DA 2F`) →
`JMP $DFF0` (`7E DF F0`), and place at `$DFF0`:
```
DFF0 7F 25 21 CLR $2521
DFF3 7F 25 22 CLR $2522
DFF6 7E DA 2F JMP $DA2F
```
2. **Success path** — make the clear unconditional (belt-and-suspenders,
covers an abort before `$87` is sent). Replace `$DA21-$DA2D` (13 bytes)
in place:
```
DA21 7F 25 21 CLR $2521
DA24 7F 25 22 CLR $2522
DA27 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 (NOP x7)
DA2E 39 RTS (unchanged)
```
Rationale: `$2521` means "a reply is in progress"; any path that tears
down reply state must release it. There is no case where you reset the
reply machine yet want the latch to stay set, so unconditional clearing is
safe. This is the board-side analogue of the game-side "make collisions
harmless" patches (BTL4OPT v2-v4) — instead of widening a timing window it
removes the latch leak entirely.
### Validation plan (when a chip is available)
Burn the two edits to a W27C512, socket it (preserve the original AMD
chip), then run the `RIO_TAP` two-handed 8-button mash test. Expect: no
permanent analog mute; any collision self-recovers without a game-start
reset. Compare dropout counts to the 2026-07-03/04 baseline taps.
