Go home AI you're drunk.
Yeah. My favourite one (which I think I posted here quite a while back) was when I asked ChatGPT for a simple "add two 16-bit numbers on a 6502" routine and it added the MSBs first, and then added the carry from that to the addition of the two LSBs.

While things are ...

BTW, filled planes, aka “pours,” such as you have on your unit, are not a good idea. They are not a substitute for the ground and power layers in a four-layer board. About all filled planes will do is mess with signal quality due to the extra parasitic capacitance they add.
Do you have any ...

The dev machine has a Python script to do this which in turn can be included in build scripts.
Excellent! I wish more developers would spend just a little bit of thought on making what they build usable as components in other systems.

(I have a similar build/test/load-to-device system for my ...

I guess whomever wrote the Beeb assembler hadn’t read the MOS Technology assembly language standard. :evil: CMP #&22:BEQ gsinit1 ... what the heck is that? :? Every assembler I’ve used to date would choke on it.
That's an interesting view. And you think that whatever 6502 assembler they used to ...

For the 6502 I used Ophis because it's fast and has features like excellent macros, anonymous labels, symbol scope (useful for control structures), modules, and multiple program sections for code and data. I also used py65 to run unit tests which made for much better code.
I use ASL these days ...

Press A, Press B, Press C, release B....

You now have a gap in the middle of the list....
Right. So close it up, so you have a list indicating that A and C have been pressed, in that order.

Again, if you're actually playing single notes, this isn't something I foresee as being something that ...

Using the 6502 S-pointer stack is not at all right; that's for something completely different (calling subroutines) and is small enough and difficult enough to access that you shouldn't even use it for subroutine stack frames.

And a stack is not the right thing here. You need a list of currently ...

Thanks and your idea of order priority is exactly what I'm trying to achieve!
Ah! Well, then even though I've (thankfully :-)) forgotten most of my musician stuff, I think your issue is actually the same as we fast typists have: we need n-key rollover. And I happened to be working on that just the ...

If only they were LEDs :)
I entirely disagree. I see LEDs on a keyboard, and I think it's for some kid gamer who wants flashy-flashy. I see 4148s, and I see that someone's been willing to spend money on real functionality that the gamer kids probably don't even know how to tell if it's there or ...

I love the diodes there. Make it clear and visible that this is an expensive keyboard with a diode for every key!

Yeah, a schematic would help a lot. Or even, just to start with, a description of the pinout of the cable coming out of the keyboard. And add a description of how you've hooked this up to the '250 and the '138, if you can manage that. And then how these are connected to the PIA.

I'm guessing that ...

Yup. Though from a practical point of view, simply just taking EhBASIC and building on that is probably the better strategy. Not only are substantial parts, and possibly all, of it not copyrightable, but the current copyright owner probably doesn't even know that they own the copyright, or that ...

Again, what you are saying is only true, if and only if, the derivative work was authorized. EhBASIC was NOT authorized, it constitutes an illegal act of infringement. The author cannot claim copyright on it.
The author cannot claim copyright on the derived work , correct. That does not affect the ...

But they weren't, they were published as part of an illegal infringement and are, in context and part of that illegal infringement, under the law in effect (US law), not copyrightable. That's it. No argument. It's done. End of story. That's all she wrote, folks!
Well, that's may be all "she ...

Alterations made illegally to a copyrighted work cannot be copyrighted because only the original copyright owner (MS in this case) can authorize the creation of derivative works, such as altered versions of their original work. Unauthorized alterations constitute copyright infringement, and the ...
