I for one vote for the 65816 option! The linear addressing and extra opcodes are TOO GOOD to pass up! In fact, we could go one-step-beyond and come up with a core for a 65832 or 65864. If I'm gonna dream, I'm dreaming BIG! :-) It would be best to include both cores and make it software switchable. In fact, EVERYTHING should be softswitched. I don't like having to manually reconfigure my SuperCPU/RAMLink for every application as it is. As far as getting a core and working with WDC, I haven't the foggiest. All I'm recommending is that the design should accommodate future developments like these. I'm assuming that you're EMULATING the bi-directional programmable I/O port as well as the extended DMA capabilities of the 6510 within the CPLD. That would make sense. Louisville is on my calendar and I plan to be there with CASH IN HAND for at least one unit. Umm, oh yeah, have you considered the possibility of maybe ... ETHERNET? I'd be thrilled to be able to connect my C-64 to my cablemodem! Best wishes and good luck to you Jeri, and THANK YOU VERY MUCH! --- rbernardo <rbernardo@value.net> wrote: > Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2001 10:21:18 -0800 (PST) > From: Jeri Ellsworth <cm_easy@yahoo.com> > To: homestead@videocam.net.au > Subject: 6502 core / 128 mode > > Hi, > > I wanted to let everyone know that the 6502 core I'm > planning on using > does not have the 65c816 instruction sub set. :( ( > > Patents and the core from WDC is very large.)
