68000 Assembler resource

Post by Solar »

I just came across this site. A 1989 introduction to assembler programming on the (68k) Amiga, originally released in book form, now available online (and in English, somewhat easier to grasp for most of us than the original Danish).

I'm not sure if and where to add it to the Wiki, but since we're still talking about 8086 8) , a 68k resource might be interesting for some.

PS: For those who find the link above too subtle, the URL is http://palbo.dk/dataskolen/maskinsprog/.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

Very interesting :)

In fact, I still have some old books here on both Amiga and Atari internals - both featuring the good old 68000 CPU. It's really easy to program those few hardware registers using either assembly or a bit of C(++), and one quickly arrives at some nice results, like a bit of graphics output or some sound.

(Actually I still have some Atari ST and an Amiga 2000 in the basement, but for testing my code, I prefer emulators such as Hatari.)

Actually, old Megadrives are less likely to be thrown away than their IBM hunk-of-steel counterparts. And they still sell development equipment for them.</spam> :wink:
