Subject: Re: Twiggys [was: Re: ka... ching!]
I'd like to learn more about programming, esp for my 6800. It'd be fun to test
its limits and see what uses I can find for the graphics board I got. I just don't
understand how they programmed the thing. All the hex stuff throws me
off. :)
Does it have a serial interface and memory. In which case it was probably programmed in
Assembler.
When I started with 6800 board and 256 bytes of memory, and toggle switches to load it I
used to hand assemble the programs to get the hex/binary.
I soon got bored of the toggle switches and built a little box with an old calculator
keyboard and display and some TTL so I could enter data quickly.
