Re: 6809 / 6702 puzzle

André

Although the address range of $EFE0 .. $EFE3 does assume that the buffered address lines that go to the 6702 chip are used as Commodore 
have identified them on the schematics as active high and low chip selects! If I were them I may have lied of course... However, as the 
Waterloo language disk software only ever addresses port $EFE0, this point is somewhat irrelevant.

A great website incidentally.

A bit off topic - but would anyone be interested in an FPGA implementation of the SuperPET? I have already done an FPGA implementation of 
the Apollo Guidance Computer from the schematics (see http://opencores.org/project,agcnorm). Documentation on the front page is a bit 
sparse so far but the VHDL source code is fully commented. I have also been working on an FPGA implementation of Clive Sinclair's Science 
of Cambridge MK14 (one of the first computers I cut my teeth on here in the UK) and the Vectrex games machine (the latter of which is 6809 
based). I have most of the VHDL components to construct the processor, memory and display - but will have to work on the 'disk' from 
scratch.
