Hello everybody. Is there anybody out there who knows about any floating point packages for the 6809? Please respond by E-mail to me.

Back in '83 Moto sold a part called MC6839 "Floating Point ROM" for the 6809. It is an 8K ROM with code supporting the IEEE STD draft 8.0. It has the following formats: single, double, & extended. It has the following operations: add, subtract, multiply, divide, sqr rt, remainder, integer part, abs val, neg, int->fp, fp->decimal string, predicate compares, and condition code compares. It has 4 rounding modes, 2 closure modes, and a normalize mode. I believe I have one in my spares box. Pete Salerno c/o Dick Smith Northrop ESD-RMS smithr@ast.dsd.northrop.com

It is an 8K ROM with code supporting the IEEE STD draft 8.0. The source and S1-S9 data is on the Motorola Freeware BBS (512) 891-3733 but there is no doco for it (and my assembler spits out the source!) -- Michael Katzmann (VK2BEA/G4NYV/NV3Z) Please email to this address | Broadcast Sports Technology | 2135 Espey Ct. #4 \|/ Crofton MD 21114-2442 (301) 721-5151 ...uunet!opel!vk2bea!michael

I think the source to this might be on Moto's free BBS - sorry I don't have the phone# handy. ---Don

Documentation for the MC6839 floating point ROM exists. My copy is the "MCM6839 Floating Point ROM Set for the MC6809, Preliminary User's Manual" dated 15 August 1980. It is 103 pages long but has no source listings. You should probably check with your local Motorola rep. Wayne
