Re: Putting together a 65c256s reference site

The Mensch computer uses CS0B and CS1B to map 65c22s into memory.
https://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/Mensch_Computer.php
I don’t really see how CS0B can replace ports but port expansion is obvious.
In older documentation CS1B was described as COProcessor expansion; even more mysterious. But in ...

Re: The W65C134 SXB ?

If you wish to go further into the 65c134 there’s a patent available for reading:
US7123107A which can be found at google patents.
There’s also a variety of patents filed for the 65c265. Search William D. Mensch inventor.

The w65c134s, according to WDC’S data sheet, doesn’t include Rockwell bit manipulation op-codes.

Re: W65C265 Multiplexed Pins (PIB and UART3) - Custom Board

Does your custom rom contain values for calculating FCLK over 6 mhz and corresponding baud rates?
The internal rom will default to 3.68 mhz on error.
BTW congrats!

Re: W65C265 Multiplexed Pins (PIB and UART3) - Custom Board

It was nice that WDC provides the source for the ‘265 monitor rom and reference manual. Out of the box the internal rom will start the ‘265 with virtually no resources only what ram, rom and I/O is on the chip. So while WDC ‘reserves’ some things for itself there’s no prohibition for writing your ...

Re: W65C265 Multiplexed Pins (PIB and UART3) - Custom Board



I hardwired a 1.8432mhz oscillator to Timer 4 via P60. Does anyone have any idea how to use this to set the baud rates for, say, Port 3? I know to switch Bit 0 of the Timer Control Register to "1" to use that as TIN. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to do. The documentation isn't clear as to which ...

Re: W65C265 Multiplexed Pins (PIB and UART3) - Custom Board

If one was to turn off CS2B that would pretty much disconnect all of the internal I/O and ram from the core 65c816. The only way I can conceive of reconnecting the internal I/O and ram is reset.

Andy
