On 1998-04-24 classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu said to lisard(a)zetnet.co.uk :> I have: 1802, SC/MP, 6800, 6809, NEC D78PG11, 8748/9, 8751, :>8080/8085, z80, z180, z280, z8002, z8001, 808x, 8018x, 80286, :>80386, 80486 and the micro version of minis 6100(pdp-8), :>6120(PDP-8+EMA) TI9900, PDP11(T-11, F11, J-11). :Showoff :-) No 8008? I always wanted a 4004 (anyone listening out :there, that's a hint) and an SC/MP. Anybody remember Fairchild F8's? remember, no. heard of, yes. the Great CPU list is a wonderful thing... :> Now something with a MIPS chip, ARM, sparc or some such would be :>a great addition of a real RISC processor. :Well, I've got all of those, and my favourite is the ARM. I've had :to write MIPS assembler, and it's not great fun. most risc processors are not fun to program in assembler. some risc chips - notably the novix and a few other forth cpus - look like murder to program. however, one of the design criteria of the arm was that it was to be easy to program in assembler - and the instruction set certainly suggests that it should be. (not having one, we can't say "it is", but hopefully that will be remedied before too long.) -- Communa (together) we remember... we'll see you falling you know soft spoken changes nothing to sing within her...
