Some Solutions of 8085

1. Write a program for 8085 to swap bit D3 and D6 of ten numbers stored in memory at
9650H if any number is greater than 70H and less than A0H. Otherwise set D3 and
reset D6 of the number stored. [2063 Ashad]

2. Seven status and one control signal of a single microprocessor based instrument are
read from data bus and are stored sequentially from memory location 6000H. Control
bit is represented by bit D4 and D4=1 represents valid data. Other bits are status
signals. Write an assembly language program for 8085 microprocessor which will check
control bit of each data and transfer the valid data to new memory location starting
from 7000H. The program should count and display the number of valid data and the
checking process should stop when all status signals are zero.
