André 's 8-bit misc pages

On these pages you will find quite some software I made around the 6502 and the Commodore 8-bit machines.
  •  
    2010-01-03 Added @ASS, @MON and @BASIC manuals, as well as the actual BASMON binaries.
  •  
    2006-12-27 Added the PET version of @MON.
 

Crossdevelopment

  • xa65 6502 crossassembler
    This is the 6502 crossassembler I developed to use with my seflbuilt computers. It is the main assembler for the GeckOS/A65 operating system and supports the o65 fileformat.
    It originates on my old, long-gone Atari ST and has been ported to standard ANSI C since. It compiles on various platforms. xa-2.1.4h.tar.gz is the latest Unix version I use. Jolse Maginnis added 65816 support. This version is xa-2.1.4f+65816-v2.tar.gz
    However, due to lack of time I have given the maintenance job to Cameron Kaiser. The new website (with current versions) is http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/xa/
 

C64 development

These programs are not under development anymore.
 

Other programs

Here is some other stuff that might be of interest.
  • BDOS+: This program reads and writes PC floppy disks on a C128 with a VC1571 disk drive. I once published a version in the 64er magazin as project of the month. Nowadays I would suggest using the transfer tools from http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/transfer/.
    Just in case, here is the last version of BDOS (for which I got permission from the 64er magazine to publish it: bdos+.x64.gz.
  • xcbm: This was my first attempt in writing a C64/PET emulator running on Unix before I joined the VICE team. It basically emulates the 6502 opcodes (not the undefined ones) and traps the kernal to access the hardware (except the screen). It uses the text terminal for display, so if it works you could even run it over a terminal line :-). Get the full archive at http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/crossplatform/emulators/unix/xcbm-0.1.2.tar.gz or read the README.xcbm.txt.

hot!

Dive into the retro feeling and build yourself a Micro-PET or a Multi-board Commodore 4032 replica

Interested in electronics design? Look at the design lesson I got from Bil Herd, the hardware designer of the C128
