Subject: Late-night problemo!
Don't even look at the time on this message... I've got kind of stuck
into trying to get BASIC working.
However...
I havew a bit of a problem which I'd appreciate if someone could solve. I
have put the BASIC ROM in at &8000 as recommended and not yet supported
ROM paging via &FE30. However, during execution the O/S puts &F into
&FE30 (is that paging in BASIC? The ROMs are in different places on my
Beeb) and then (via the instruction at &F17B) does a JSR &8003. This
causes my emulator to report a non-existent instruction - opcode &1F.
I've had a look at the BASIC ROM and &1F is indeed the instruction at
&8003. Just to make sure it wasn't my instruction list (which has been
known to be a bit dodgy in the past!) I checked up with ADT on the Beeb.
It reports &1F as being a non-instruction too.
Where have I gone wrong? There is no way (as far as I know) that location
&8003 could hold anything other than &1F bearing in mind that BASIC is a
ROM. Help! I'm going to bed before this drives me up the wall!
