Subject: Another little progress update...
I have now managed to get 38 instructions working in the 6502. I realise
I don't program all that quickly but my machine is a little restrictive;
I've got some huge problem with how much memory different things are
reporting and it keeps crashing. Anyway...
Using the Z and C flags shared between two processors is working
incredibly. I have managed to get through a fair number of instructions
as a result of them now being so easy to write. However, I am having a
couple of problems - the major one being how the hell I am supposed to
get 65536 bytes of memory (a whole segment) to myself on a PC. Does
anyone have a sure-fire way of getting 65536 bytes of contiguous memory
on a PC? I'm posting to newsgroups about this too so don't worry if you
don't!
I really want to get BBC BASIC working... mostly for nostalgic reasons! I
don't think I'll be doing much programming tomorrow as I've got to take
the next-door neighbour's cat to the cattery and cut our grass (which is
now actually over 1ft deep...); oh the joys of uni holidays...
