Hi Mark,

Thanks for the pointers - they would have been really handy if we were talking "C"

As it happens, I have just been creating a page on the site for such things (manages to resist the urge to post another plug for the website!)

Martin uses ZDS, I have downloaded that from the Zilog site, but not tried it yet

Regards
Dave

Ahh, but I have not really got into C. The only C I have played with is on an Atari ST.

My favourite high level language is OPL, but as it only runs on Psion hardware, its use is a bit limited

Hi Mark,

Sorry, my bad pun was probably a bit too obtuse, as I was typing "pointer", the "C" thought popped into my head. Mmm, I'm off again....... Now I'm think that "pop" IS relevant to Z80! - I'd better stop - there are probably "stacks" more that I could think of, but I don't want to "push" it.

Unless anyone else wants to "jump" in? There are "load"s more if anyone wants to "add" them, but we should perhaps call a "halt" to this.

Regards
Dave

Actually he uses a home-brew assembler written in BBC basic on an Acorn RiscPC, with all sorts of oddities.

ZDS is there when things need to be shared with the rest of the world

BTW, did you ever share your "home-brew assembler written in BBC basic"?

Dave, I think I need to force you to put your bus into the high-impedance state by activating /BUSRQ

Oh, and I may have missed the pointer, but that may be because some assembly routines use pointers as well... Just thought that I would point that out.

I haven't, I could if you really want it. It's not the neatest bit of code ever.

I doubt there are that many MTX owners that have a RiscPC as well, but running it on a Pi, that's possible...

RiscOS 5 for the Pi is available here: https://www.riscosopen.org/content/down ... spberry-pi, I'll have to find my Pi sometime and see how it goes. I don't think any of the changes between RiscOs 4 and 5 will break things.

The emulator I use, that wont run on a Pi, (it's firmly tied to the old ARM 26bit mode)
