Hi Patrick,

The web page now has .txt files for:

RAMDisk-a65.txt = DOS Toolkit 6502 assembler source for RAMDisk
Uses 4 simple macros. Not sure macro declarations in proper syntax for
EDASM since I can't find a manual for it anymore. The macros are
utterly simple, although they do use local labels.

DBG68.txt = Applesoft Debugger with expansions including built in help
MON68 Makefile.txt = 4.3 BSD Makefile for 68008 Monitor
All-h.txt = All .h files needed by the makefile run together into
one .txt file
All-i.txt = All .i ( .globl decls ) needed by the makefile run
together into one .txt file
All-s.txt = All .s files needed by the makefile run together into
one .txt file

The 68008 assembler source is AT&T syntax. No macros. Does use local
labels.

This is all the softcopy anyone, including me, will need to rebuild
any of the binaries assuming access to the right tools on Windows, or
probably easier, the right tools on Linux.

All this is free for any use, just identify the author.

Newer technology hosts like Carte Blance offer more memory, more
features, etc.

I do note that having the coprocessor interface with the 6502 CPU by a
dedicated 512x9 FIFO in each direction allows some really nice things,
like moving entire big sectors across the interface without to
handshake explictly with the guy on the other side.  The FIFOs let the
68k and the 6502 both proceed without bothering each other most of the
time.

Cheers.
