Enhanced BASIC Bug Fixes

• Enhanced BASIC Quirks and fixes
  • Fixes the IRQ_vec missing error when assembling the code

; Ibuffs can now be anywhere in RAM, ensure that the max length is < $80,
; the input buffer must not cross a page boundary and must not overlap with
; program RAM pages!

;Ibuffs           = IRQ_vec+$14
Ibuffs            = VEC_SV+$16
                    ; start of input buffer after IRQ/NMI code
Ibuffe            = Ibuffs+$47; end of input buffer

• Added some of the patches from Enhanced BASIC Quirks and fixes
  • Patched code is here

• Boots to request memory size

• Runs on card

OSI BASIC

• LB-6502 GitHub
  • Generated from msbasic Source Code
• Grant Searle's 6502 design
  • Link to Grant's files
  • Local copy
• Source code
  • osi_bas.s <== the Microsoft OSI BASIC and I/O routines SOURCE all in a single file
  • Grant's I/O routines are at the end of it
• Files to allow the source to be assembled on a Windows based machine
  • assemble.bat <== double click to assemble osi_bas.s and link to binary file "osi_bas.bin"
  • This should be exactly 16K
  • osi_bas.cfg <== configuration file for the linker (ensure ORG and entries in this file match if you change any)
  • ca65.exe <== the assembler from the cc65 package. Use this. The new version on the cc65 site crashes!
  • ld65.exe <== linker from the cc65 package
  • srec_cat.exe <== Converts bin file to .hex file
• Output files
  • osi_bas.bin <== the ROM fine in pure binary
  • osi_bas.lst <== Assembly listing file
  • rom.hex <== the ROM fine in standard INTEL-HEX format
• To allow simple re-assembly, extract all files to the same folder
  • Use srec_cat utility to convert the "bin" file to HEX or s19 (etc)
• All source code, assembler binaries and the HEX dump of the ROM is here
  • It is in standard INTEL-HEX format for uploading to a suitable programmer.
• Having trouble running code
