I discovered I had a Rockwell 65c02 and I installed it in my Apple ][. The computers seems to function just as it did before, But I haven't been able to run any programs I could not run before.

It there a simple way to determine if I have the additional instructions available for program use?


Trust me, if you installed a 65C02 in place of a 6502, you
have new instructions available!

You can go into the monitor and write a short program
(say, one that uses STZ to store zero somewhere), then
run it and see that it works.

The latest versions (2.x) of ProDOS require a 65C02.

I was aware of that. I am trying to see if I can use ProDOS 2.x in this machine.

The real reason for this is to use a CFFA card in this machine, which requires 65c02 but its not working correctly (yet)
