Hi! Some time ago I received Jim Brain's Fake6509 for testing. If you followed the last year's thread, it worked perfectly with original 6502 and various other versions (including the 65C816) to emulate the 6509 for CBM-II, but when used with Rockwell's R65C02, the computer mysteriously failed the memory test. So here are tests done with a logic analyzer for: (a) Original 6509 CPU (b) Fake6509 with 65C816 (c) Fake6509 with R65C02 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FCGHofRvtgk3j8iWia8IujY1dU4DGxfF What you see there is the CPU executing a STA ($93), Y instruction at $FFABA, whis is a part of KERNAL's memory test. It is about to write $55 to $10002, which will then be read back to see if there is RAM at this address. Both the 6509 and the 65C816 execute the instruction in the same way. But if you look at what the R65C02 is doing, the value $0094 is kept at the address bus one cycle longer, and the destination address $0002 appears there for only one cycle, as opposed to two cycles for the 6509. This is too late for the CBM-II maiboard to latch the address for the DRAM, so the value gets written to $10094 instead of $10002, and the memory test obviously fails.
