Has anyone tried to use the 65802 in an Atari 400? I have been
thinking of giving it a shot, because of the added instruction
capability. I understand that it is compatible with the existing
6502. Has anyone verified this? On the smaller side, I have
also heard that the 65C02 will work in the 400/800, but not the
newer 800XL and XE models. Verification?
Also, I have need of a serial interface board for my Atari.
Since my Atari is mainly used for fun, I was thinking of con-
structing one of my own from scratch, that will sit on the serial
line and provide support for at least two RS232 ports. Has any-
one got a good design for one? I am trying to work out a way so
that the RS232 controller will be smart enough not to interfere
with the disk I/O requests. I would prefer to allow RS232 I/O
and disk I/O over the same channel without specially toggling the
RS232 line off the serial bus. Still, if anyone has any brilli-
ant ideas of how to build any sort of serial interface for the
Atari that interfaces through the serial bus, drop me some mail.
