Hallo allemaal,


I once had a SuperPET but sold it. Main reason: I want to tinker with 
computers I have and tinkering with a perfect SuperPET is not done IMHO. 
The idea was to create my own upgrade to turn a 8032, 8096 or 8296 into 
a SuperPET anyway. To avoid inventing the wheel twice I did some 
research lately and found two old projects:
https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/commodore-8032-add-on-board-superpet.49423/page-4
https://github.com/nils-eilers/uMMF

I was able to contact Dave, the owner of the first project and he 
pointed me to the 6702. I completely forgot about that one. To make it 
short: what is known about it now? Bo Zimmerman's site still says 
nothing is known and I found a PDF that mentions patching the various 
Waterloo disks.

But I wonder: hasn't anybody tried a brute force attack yet? And you 
don't have to start from zero; Mike Naberezny wrote the document I 
mentioned above so the routines that approach the 6702 are known, 
including input and output: Waterloo-D64-Disk-Patches.pdf

If I create a board, I won't use the same, IMHO stupid, idea of powering 
the 6502 off so the 6809 can access the bus. I'm using a 65816 anyway 
and it can be tri-stated, so why not making use of it? Another advantage 
(I think), the 6502/65816 can continue after the instruction it gave to 
activate the 6809.

Any comment, ideas, etc is welcome!
