Francois Vander Linden has posted a proof of concept for his Excel Spreadsheet Assembler. As it is still in very rough form, Franco obviously has some hopes for it saying, ” I think it might be useful for some rapid 6502 test routines with an emulator for example.” Some of the features included in the assembler are: all the 6502 instructions plus a couple of pseudo-instructions – all addressing modes global and local labels EQUs to declare constants use of…
Chuck Peddle, the creator of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor has passed away at age 82. Peddle, originally on the Motorola team that developed the 6800 series chips, was determined to develop an inexpensive chip which did not cost $300 such as the Motorola 6809 did. Originally developed while Peddle was working at Motorola, the 6502 was a major breakthrough in cost and allowed almost anyone to build a computer. Motorola told Peddle to shut down the project due to…
Dagen Brock has updated his recently released 65xx Programmers Reference for iOS. This App is a great reference for programmers of the 65xx series CPU’s such as those found in the Apple II series computers. The latest version of the program has complete CPU separation allowing those who are programming a specific CPU to only see the commands for that particular CPU. According to his posting on CSA2, there are more updates to the application coming soon. The reference is…
