Hi, folks. SamCoVT has volunteered to curate the proofread code, assemble it, etc., to create a "final" version. I still need to get two chunks; when I get those, I'll put it all together into one file and turn it over to Sam for the home stretch. Big thanks to Sam for taking this on.

I'm OK with the Kowalski assembler. I like that it can run on all the major platforms (w/ WINE on Mac/*nix). Thoughts? Personally, I don't have a real preference, and the source file we're building is typical and ought to assemble on most systems. Still, Sam's point is a good one: when dealing with ...

No, Ed. I believe that the .LST file to which Sam refers has been manually massaged by Dave or Nils. Those guys laid A LOT of groundwork before sharing what they had with the team, and they were no doubt cramping up and seeing double at times.

Triple, occasionally! :shock:

Yes, I can confirm ...

I'm good with whatever you think makes the most sense for those (archeologists?) who will come after us.

Good catch, Sam. To answer a few questions:

The comment about the missing JSR FCOMPL instruction at that point in the Aresco source, refers to the fact that Aresco (when they did their KIM-1 conversion of the Denver 6502 Group original version in 1977) simply left it out. The history of this code ...

Hey, fellas, watch out for those LDA# CMP# LDX# LDY# mnemonics, and make sure the # makes it over to the operand! I see those types of errors sprinkled all over!]

Yeah - go with what's there re: spaces/tabs. I guess it really won't matter at assembly time. And yeah, PLEASE check for those ...

GREAT - Thanks, guys. I'll put the 1-kb parcels together and PM "The Gang of Five."
stand by...

That sounds fine to me, Mike, and no hard deadlines here....maybe by New Year's Day (??) I need one more volunteer and then I can pass out 1 KB parts.

How big of a "chunk" would proofers want? 512b? 1K? Something else?

Hi group. For the last month, a friend and I have worked on the FOCAL-65 source code a YouTube video subscriber sent me. We have "reconstructed" the Aresco version (V3D) that runs on a KIM-1 or clone/replica from a MOS TIM monitor-based listing by the Denver 6502 Group (distributed by 6502 Program ...
