[A89] Re: Anybody Alive?

i recommend a68k asm over 'as' though... I don't like dealing with as's features like requiring the % sign to identify registers. Good talking to you on irc though :) there aren't many people who are interested in just using asm.

to add to that list, http://members.chello.at/gerhard.kofler/kevin/ti89prog/asmnstb.htm (i believe that you've already been there, but for others who may come along after this post...)

next we have ALH's page: http://www.ti89hardware.tk/
see the section called PDF DOCUMENTS download those pdf files... they will answer your questions about the size of each instruction, and the number of clock cycles required.

for an excellent, hardware reference, see http://d188.ryd.student.liu.se/ti89/download.php?file=http://m101.ryd.student.liu.se/J89hw.txt (this is listed on ALH's page). Really this reference is not 100% accurate, and we know some things that weren't known when the document was written... but... for the most part, it does just fine.

awhile ago, i started to put together an 68k asm reference. Its not complete, but it has a few good links: http://calc.gregd.org/68k/

i'll post more if i think of it...

  Heh, it's been over 2 months since the last message here.  Are you thinking
  of doing assembly or C?  Either way, you should download TIGCC at
  http://tigcc.ticalc.org.  It's the best IDE/programming tool for the 68k
  calcs; it does GNU assembly, standard 68k assembly, and C.  There are some
  good tutorials at http://technoplaza.net/programming/ (C) and
  http://technoplaza.net/tigcc-asm/ (assembly).  C is a lot easier to program
  than assembly and isn't that much slower, but there are people who prefer to
  use assembly so they can squeeze every little bit of performance out of the
  processor.  In my opinion, the tiny performance gain over C by programming
  in assembly isn't worth the extra programming effort.  Hope this helps.

  from z80 to 68k and I'd like some pointers =)
