[Coco] Basic09 6309 version

[Bill Pierce]

James, that is probably the very code I remember Joseph referring to a few years ago. Not sure why it was never finished. It seems like there were also one or two missing instructions, but it was long ago and I can't find the source for the message. I thought it was on coco3.com, but couldn't find it there.

If https://github.com/VCCE/VCC is any indication, a number of the DIVQ_*cases in hd6309.c sit unimplemented--or more accurately, it looks like onlyDIVQ_E is implemented. The rest mostly emit a log message and all count thenumber of cycles the instruction takes.On Thu, May 25, 2017 at 3:22 PM, Wayne Campbell <asa.rand at gmail.com> wrote:> I was just covering the bases.
