<sub>//**Note#1**// Unfortunately, I have to make the 2-hour slot on Friday morning 'by-appointment-only'. If you have any problems with this please come and see me.</sub>

<sub>//**Note#2**// Good news and bad news. The good news is I've added another consultation hour on Wednesday. The bad news is I've made it 'by-appointment-only'. Again, come and see me if you have problems with this.</sub>

===== Lab Assessment =====

We will be using the 8085 simulation software. Assume that ONLY ONE 4KB RAM is available at address 8000H for data (including stack). Assume your code starts at 0000H (the simulator does not support ORG directive!).

Write a SUB-ROUTINE to read an array of data from source address (8000H). For every data read, write a value to destination address (8800H) based on the following rules:

	if data < 50 then value = 0
	if 50 <= data < 200 then value = data
	if data >= 200 then value = 255

The first data in 8000H gives the length of the vector and should not be processed. Copy this value directly to 8800H.

Write a complete program to test your sub-routine with the following data:

	org 8000H
	dfb 10, 25 ,129, 244, 200, 50, 65, 73, 133, 255, 234, 123
@
	dfb 0ah, 19h, 81h, 0f4h, 0c8h, 32h, 41h, 49h, 85h, 0ffh, 0eah, 7bh

Result @8800H should be:

	10, 0, 129, 255, 255, 50, 65, 73, 133, 255, 255
@
	0ah, 00h, 81h, 0ffh, 0ffh, 32h, 41h, 49h, 85h, 0ffh, 0ffh

Submit the complete program.

**Possible Solution**

//Note: I have NOT tested this... but, I think I've covered everything.//

//Note#2: Obviously, you may also use STAX D instead of XCHG'ing HL and DE.//
