A simple example: a program uses the RAM area under KERNAL as a temporary storage and reads from the consecutive addresses there. I know for a fact that such programs exist. So you would need to monitor the configuration bits or the _CS or ... The next example is copying KERNAL from ROM to RAM - lots of programs to this in order to modify a few things in the KERNAL. Here monitoring the _CS won't help as the program reads from ROM locations and you know what happens when you don't differentiate between the _RST induced reads and the same done by the program. >> This is a valid point.

Choosing a long enough random sequence should cover the bum well enough. -- SD! Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2016-12-30 07:00:02
