Revising CFFA firmware for 6502 started...

[Rich <rich@dreher.NOSPAM.net>]

Hi All,

At the strong urging of Michael Mahon, I have started revising the
CFFA firmware to use only 6502 instuctions. The basic changes
only took about an hour. (and that is what michael convinced me of)

After making all of the changes, on the first attempt to test my new 
code in my //e platinum, it worked great! Hooray! But, when testing 
began on my ][+ things didn't go so well.

So at some point here, I am going to make a beta version available to
those who don't mind wasting some of their time with a setup that might
fail. Of course getting the code onto the CFFA will require an eprom 
programmer (because my board has no FLASH).

This brings me to another question....
It would really be helpful to have a 6502 In-Circuit Emulator or ICE.
Does anybody have one they want to sell or borrow for a period of time.
(or is there a way to get NoICE to run on the Apple ][?)

I am currently in contact with Dave Lyons, in an attempt to get a hold 
of Apple's 65816 Dissembler software for the HP1630D logic analyzer 
which I have. Although I need to find a floppy drive the analyzer. I 
think it is a HP-IB (or GP-IB) based floppy drive.

Anyway, if you are interested in helping do some testing and has have 
EPROM programmer, please drop me an email. Or if you have an 6502 ICE 
unit you are will to sell, let me know.

Thanks,
Rich
