yes I tried to develop on the W65C816SXB it was a nightmare...

the developement system from western design center is just awful

I was in contact with western design center, they never said anything
about the bugs

even though I asked them if something was going wrong...

letting me believe that the problem was in my code (I was developing a
monitor for the 6502)

after having spend days on this problem I tried on a real 6502 and my
program worked perfectly


finally I analysed the schematics of the board....

and designed my own board to try to understand the problem and try to
find a fix....

I had the stupid idea to use a w65c51 and once again a nightmare started....
to solve the serial port problem I had to replace the w65c51 by a
g65sc51 (working perfectly)
in fact I have a fix with my board and my fix activated my monitor work 
on 65c816 in emulation mode

for me the problem is solved I trash all the western design center
product I have and I'll never use them again
