Hi
I'm looking at an application of the 8X300 by
Signetics. This is for a hard disk controller.
Is anyone fiddling with simmulators for this processor.
It seems like someone was a while back.
My current application is on an Olivetti M20 not
a TRS80.

Having written code for it (long, long ago though) its a rather
bizarre and hard to work with chip.
In the real (physical) world it was extremely expensive to write
code for -- code was in bipolar PROMs. Maybe there were PROM
simulators but we didn't have one, so it was burn PROM, debug with
scope. Ouch. Yuck.
