My name not robert…..
#OnLine! and 1.2
Message #43258
my dealer (KJ, Ellay) provided me with 1.2 official.
I have seen the MicroForge drives in action. The interface is totally non-asthetic, does not seem to do a pin-passthrough of the bus, but *does* work. It requires an external power supply of OEM astheticness (which is to say none). Prices quoted by KJ Computers (ELLAY) are $1300 for 10MB…

C on a non- 8-bit machine is the language of choice. If you have done (or understand) *any* assembly, C is a cinch to learn. It is a *standard* language that passes parameters by address (not value). All I/O is expected to be handled by the library for the given…
Had to do a lot of (6502-like) LDA ABS,X , where the X register was very variable. On the 6809 had to do a lot of ABX stuff to accomplish the same. Maybe I was stupid…chose the 6809 on general recomendation to do a particular app that it turned out…
Yes but I know where they are. (point taken) I will also grant that the 6502 has some sillyness (decimal math, pre-indexed indirect(note aside: Has *anyone* EVER used pre-indexed indirect (i.e. LDA (FOOBAR,X) ) ? ) ). After some thought I will retract what I said about the 6809 being…

If I had a 6809 manual at hand, I would be more specific, but I remember that while I was programming a 6809 application once, I kept hitting all kinds of missing adressing mode gotchas, and thinking "gee…the 6502 lets you do that." Almost never happens the other way around…
