CP/M for the 6502 (cpm 6502) (github.com | ia)
- Screwtapello 623 days agoI don't know much about CP/M except that it was pretty closely tied to the Z80 family of processors. How liberal a translation is this to 6502? Does it try to replicate all the Z80 registers in the 6502 zero page, or is it a much higher-level recreation that just implements APIs with the same names and signatures?
- glhaynes 622 days agoI believe it's higher level. Note that there's precedent: CP/M-86, a port to the Intel 8086, existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M-86
- dfarquhar 621 days agoAlso there was a port to the Motorola 68000, CP/M-68K.
- bmonkey325 621 days agoAnyone know what TPA stands for. I want to be believe it’s the amount of memory consumed by the system but I’ve never seen it expressed that way.
- classichasclass 621 days agoIt's the reverse. TPA = Transient Program Area, which is how much memory you have available for running a desired program.
