The 65816 continues to make news.  We hear of at least two major books on 65816 Assembly Language, which should be in print soon.  We also hear that sales of the chip are taking off, with some firms ordering multiplied thousands.  Although we have yet to SEE one, we keep hearing reports of plug-in boards for Apples that contain a 65816 and lots of RAM:  ComLog, MicroMagic, Checkmate Technology, and others.

Meanwhile, we contemplate the future advantages to just enhancing existing Apples with 65802's and big RAM boards.  Applied Engineering or Checkmate will be delighted to stuff 512K additional RAM into your //c.  You can add five times that much to your //e with AE's latest version of RAMWorks.  Apple's forthcoming Slinky card will add up to a megabyte to any II, II Plus, or //e with a spare slot (1-7).  Call APPLE's latest magazine offers the BIG BOARD for slot 0-7 use, one megabyte addressable either in Slinky fashion or with "standard" D000-FFFF mapping, for only $599.  If you hurry, they have a special (even lower) price good until Sept 30th.


6800 Cross Assembler for ProDOS

The S-C 6800 Macro Cross Assembler is now also available in a ProDOS version.  This is the Version 2.0 level Cross Assembler, including the additional opcodes of the Motorola 6801 and Hitachi 6301 microprocessors.  Either the DOS or the ProDOS Version 2.0 Cross Assembler is $50; if you already have one you can add the other for only $20.
