I have just finished a 8 bit CPU in a FPGA...
Can you port those few lines of code for me?
Will get back to you tomorrow.
Ben.
PS:  No pushes or pops from the stack, just indexing off S
would make this tricky.  2 byte ints.
foo(a,b,c)  -> SUB S #8  params+return
             -> ST  A S...
	    -> JSR   #foo
