Re Forth, you might be interested in this:
http://fruttenboel.verhoeven272.nl/Langs/ace.html http://fruttenboel.verhoeven272.nl/Langs/ace.html
It's an annotated disassembly of the Jupiter Ace ROM; the Ace was a ZX80-like Z80 machine which was unique among the 8-bit computers in that it had Forth in ROM rather than Basic. It's a beautiful implementation, and includes everything from keyboard mapping to the character generator to an interactive Forth sort-of-IDE.
Also, there's no modern 6809 variant? There ain't no justice.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThanks for the tip on that! As for the 6809, it was out of production for a while. But allegedly, Rochester Electronics is making new ones now. They even seem to have them, if you look on their site. However, they won't sell them to you.
- zincsandwich 10y agoYou can get used pulls from Jameco, Unicorn Electronics or eBay. AFTER you finish your z80 thing, of course.
- zincsandwich 10y agoOh, and the RS08 and 68HCxx are the modern 6809 offshoots, and they're still in production, but they're not quite the same as the 6809, and the 68HCxx's days may be numbered.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoOh. Thanks. But neither of them really scratch the 6809 itch: They're closer to the 6800 and the 6502, whereas the 6809 was closer to m68k.
