Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

So I haven't had a whole lot of time to play with this. But I've poked around (or, to be more accurate, peeked around), and firmly established:
$0000-03FF RAM
$E000-E??? User ROM
$F000-F??? ROM

It's a start. If, as I assume this:


F336 20 3C F1 JSR $F13C
F339 20 B7 F2 JSR $F2B7
F33C 4C 36 F3 JMP ...

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Nope, that's right. Fixed two near the end though. Reading these 8 segment LEDs is brutal. "b" vs "6" is next to impossible not to misread. I could just break down and buy something to read the ROMs, I suppose, but hey, the primitiveness of the set-up is half the fun.

Biggest priority is trying to ...

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Edit to fix typos

Ok, here's the first chunk (assuming no typos--I haven't actually looked at the disassembly yet). From the start of the monitor ($F319) to the interrupt ($F3A9). Incedentally, I've found the user ROM at $4000. No idea yet what it does (maybe waiting I/O operations that aren't ...

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Well, duh. Should've thought to look where the bootstrap procedure points to. Now to transcribe up to 2048 hex codes. Joy!

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Only thing I have right now that could read the ROMs is the board itself (keep meaning to pick up an EPROM programmer, but there seems to be considerable disagreement on what modern ones are reliable).

I suppose I could just start executing best guesses (Martin threw out $3000, I can start there ...

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Sure, I can get around to pics at some point. Looks identical to the first posters, but with a robot controller daughter board (no robot, alas) and a combination storage cabinet/ power supply. Oh, and an EPROM in the user ROM socket.

Works great, but without knowing where anything is in memory, not ...

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Any more info on this thing? I just came into possession of one... Memory maps, monitor routines, really anything I don't have to figure out from ROM dumps and schematics would be greatly appreciated!
