      From: anthonypaulo@gmail.com              > To be honest, a 65832 has no more in common with the Apple II than an ARM.       And having to bastardize the (poorly designed) 65832 just to make it somewhat       useful leaves a lot of questions as to what you're really trying to do and how       you'll do it. Not        saying you shouldn't, but you're suggesting a path that requires much magic to       happen vs taking the spiritual successor to the 6502 and making a pretty cool       environment. 32 bit GS/OS apps running at 1 GHz, anyone?              David, I know this reply is years late but better late than never! :P              Regarding your opposition to a 65832 implementation but liking the idea of       32-bit GS/OS apps (I like this too! :), what exactly do you have in mind when       you say "taking the spiritual successor to the 6502 and making a pretty cool       environment. 32 bit GS/       OS apps" given that the GS is a 16-bit platform? What kind of enhancements       would you make to the 65C816 to make that possible, and wouldn't the 65832       cover that base already or do I completely misunderstand?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
