JP1 - CPU Pin 1

• Install if CPU is not a WDC 65C02 or WDC 65C816

Design

• CPU

• EPROM/EPROM

• SRAM

• Clock

• UART

• FTDI

Software

• Source code (Grant's files)
  • osi_bas.s <== the Microsoft OSI BASIC and I/O routines SOURCE all in a single file. My 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
• 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
