Now for what is no doubt a very stupid question that
I'm hoping
someone can help with.
I'm using "Turbo Macro Assembler '05", and have verified that it
works with the following simple little program that I got off the web:
* = $1000
loop: inc $d020 ; increment $d020
jmp loop ; jump to label loop
I can get <-- 3 "Assemble and run" to work just fine, however while
<-- 5 "Assemble to disk" seems to work, how on earth do I execute the
program that is created? Obviously I need to do a:
LOAD"FLASH",8,1
It loads just fine, and I assume I need a SYS statement with an
address to start it, but what on earth should that address be?
I don't know if TMA needs you to specify a starting address to assemble
to disk; most of the hosted assemblers don't, but many of the cross
assemblers do (xa does, for example -- I need to make a FAQ about that).
Assuming it does not, SYS 4096 will run it.
Assuming it does (the computer crashes), add a .byt $00, $10 above the *=
(some assemblers will accept .word).
