I had a chance to play with a regular PET at last year’s VCF Midwest, and it inspired me to dink around a bit with writing PET software. Specifically, I tried to port my C128 game Lair of the Lich King (a rogue-like) to PET, but alas, the 32k was simply not enough. I was able to re-use some of the work done though, and ported it to the B128. Anyway, still interested in PETs, and was recently reading up on the SuperPET, and wondered about: 1) is anyone writing any software for the SuperPETs that use the 6809? Did anyone except Waterloo? 2) it looks like some (all?) of the Waterloo code has been disassembled and can be recompiled. Before I get myself in too deep… is there anything in there that would make it super hard to port to another 6809 platform? Reason I ask is Foenix retro just put a (replica/FPGA) 6809 _at_ 6.29Mhz that is socket and electrically compatible with their (well, it’s a one-person shop of course) 65C09 F256 computers. I have the bare board one (“jr”) now, and am having tons of fun learning how to program it, and I have a K (keyboard-in-one) on order. I am thinking about getting the 6809 and putting it my JR when the K arrives. Obviously, absolutely no software exists at the moment. (And as she makes clear, this is not going to be compatible with anything hardware-wise): https://c256foenix.com/product/fnx6809/?v=7516fd43adaa I am a total newb with 6809s and I know there are people waiting to start working on OS-9, but I think it would be cool to have the SuperPET stuff running on another computer. Anybody know if software was ported to SuperPET from other 6809 platforms? Or from SuperPET? (Aside from OS-9) MicahReceived on 2023-01-03 20:00:09
