[Coco] Bud Pass programs

Actually, so do I (on the rare occasions I have time to do so). Also, I meant that we *didn’t* have a 6309 assembler during the first versions of NitrOS-9 … just stock ASM and the DISASM program.

I modified it to handle 6309 instructions (at the very beginning of NitrOS-9 development, we did have a 6309 assembler, we just used the level 1 ASM with FCB/FDB’s for 6309 instructions, and the modified DISASM to doublecheck our work. The reason for this was that the source code for DISASM was freely available. We then used DISASM to make the source listing for ASM, and then I added most of the 6309 support to that, and Alan Dekok finished it off).

But for 6809, I've found nothing better. It works from disk and allows you to make multiple runs through the code to set FCB, FDB, FCC etc. You can save your work to come back to it at any time.

The manual is for the RSDOS version, but I've completely typed it in by hand and tried to make the needed changes to reflect the OS9 version. There's almost no diffence between the two except the startup and file loading instructions. All cmds work the same.

It would probably be easy to modify Bud's disassembler to correctly disassemble OS9 system calls though.DaveOn 9/21/2016 7:34 PM, James Jones wrote:> Excellent news!
