Re: CIA Serial Data Register

Hallo,

from my experience quite a few routines for hardware extensions used the 
CIA SDR register as temporary memory. (e.g. the IEEE488 interface 
published in 64er magazine) Since this register is by default unused it 
was a top candidate to be used.
While it is a quite convenient solution it gets problematic as soon as 
you start using the CIA for serial transfers. Then you have to start to 
find another memory location and patch all ROMs.

Regards,
Michael
