Amazing! I didn't knew about the gr2 and gr3 register. I just searched for these in the user's manual, very sparse documentation. Thank you!

The article ended so big for my own measures, but I'm glad to know you want more of my wall of text. Thank you!

There was so much stuff to cover but there's a slight mention saying " had to add the LOADM and STOREM instructions as these handle the spilling of local registers to memory when the register stack is full" I can add an extra

Wow! Thank you! The floating-point implementation in the Am29050 is really great as it ran in parallel with the integer unit. Sorry, I need to ask, maybe you don't remember. What happens if you write into gr2-gr63? Not really needed to

I don't publish anymore in X, so I don't mind it. And by the number of points, I can see it is pretty obvious no one cares anymore. The owner is giving a great lesson on how to destroy a social network, while alienating the remain

First time I heard of it. I should know better as the TI-99/4A forum is just one click away from the Intellivision forum. Thanks for the heads up!

The practical advantage is that the 74LS chips are available in several corner stores at 25 or 35 cents each one, and I preferred the logic to be the same family. You cannot choose the source, these come mixed from ST, TI, and other manufac

Thanks! I love the "Fire in the Valley" book of Michael Swaine. I've read it so many times and always find it very inspiring.

I didn't know it was "oddball". I had brochures, official Inmos datasheets, and reference books about it, along magazines articles citing it as the "faster processor in the world". I believed it was pretty popular u

It is something you can download and test, and it includes the source code for the emulator, the operating system, the C compiler, and everything else. Just provide the emulator with an ISO CD image, and once it boots up, type DIR D: this s

Thanks for sharing! Mine was a pretty similar experience in the eighties, because you could learn so much just by reading books and doing experiments. Recently, I got three Commodore 64 (the descendants of the PET) and I just want to type s
