Re: WDC/Rockwell 65C02 core with MMU

I finally completed the 24-bit version. This probably makes this core much more interesting as it can access 16MB of memory. It has been extensively tested and seems quite stable. See first post for download links (or go to Github).

Referring to Figure 8 from the Rockwell datasheet again, I would need to remove the inverter between the clock and the NAND gate to stop the clock on Φ2 low, correct? (I'm using a 1MHz ...

Re: Usagi Electric enjoying a 6500/1 in the wild!

I'm not sure if the 6500/1 was a MOS design or a Rockwell design, but the Rockwell version has a lot more documentation. This includes emulator devices with a piggyback socket for an EPROM, for development, and I think there is one packaged with extra pins for an external bus for a ROM only. They are ...

... and stop the clock. And, to do so cleanly (ie, without the risk of producing partial pulses that can crash the CPU), said circuitry will involve more than just an AND gate.

Re: Mickey Mouse logic for address decoding?

If I'm reading Rockwell's R65C02 datasheet correctly, it appears that an external device can put the CPU into standby mode by stopping the clock with PHI0 high.
That is true of all 65C02s, and the 65C816. As a bonus, all WDC parts with static cores can be stopped on either clock phase.

If that's ...

Those two are also available with the 65C02 and, in my opinion, are more generally useful than the RMB and SMB Rockwell extensions, which have only zero page addressing and can only affect one bit.

As you noticed the "AND #%1111" isn't strictly needed.

Welcome, AlexeyM82... and nice work on the project! :)

Pure nostalgia on my part, but the vintage Rockwell chips are like old friends to me... with many a mile traveled and many a lesson learned. And even now I prefer them in some ways to the modern WDC product.

More concretely interesting is your ...

After a long time I have uploaded the latest version here. This is a fully tested version which also passes Klaus Dormann's test suite.

This version has an improved internal stack which resides in three 256-byte SRAM's. I added TOS/NOS registers so that the access is mostly 0-cycle. In the case ...

Re: 65xx parts sources, genuine and fake

I've also bought some (allegedly) Rockwell 6502 chips from UTsource that - when they arrived - had definitely been sanded and reprinted.

Not sure why as they bothered as they all worked fine.
