Re: 6702 chip

All,

I have completed the schematics for the 6702 chip (or at least completed them as far as I think they need to go).

I have sketched out everything - but only done 1 of the 64 bit shift registers (noting that they are all the same; so sketching out one 
should be good enough). I haven't fully checked the schematics against the netlist (obtained from Pavel's graphics) yet - but I will be 
quite happy to send the current PDF schematics to anyone who wants a copy. I can then forward a checked copy when I have completed my 
checking.

I plan to issue a further PDF document in the future describing the process that I went through to go from Pavel's graphics to the 
schematics. I always like to describe 'how' I did something rather than just post the result so that other people can learn from my 
experiences (see a previous example on Mike Naberezny's website for how the 6702 protection was removed from the Waterloo languages disks 
of the SuperPET).

Interestingly, I have also just got to work (literally today) the visual6702 implementation. it is like 
http://visual6502.org/JSSim/index.html - but with the graphics and a simulation of the 6702! It doesn't quite give the correct answers yet 
(it needs debugging) but the results look very promising. I will send out snapshots to anyone interested.

Regards,

Dave Roberts
