6809 BASIC

[vbriel]

I have a wirewrap 6809 board that I built that is in the same format
as a SWTPC. I haven't added the disk drive circuit yet, so I can't use
flex and I'm looking for a BASIC that will work with my system. Is
there a BASIC for the 6809 systems with serial I/O?

I discovered long ago that the flex user group site is long on tease and
short on files. Mention is made of various 6809 packages, but no links are
provided to the files.

I have a SWTPC 6800 and a 6809 system. I use the 6800 more than the 6809
because of a lack of software for it. There's an assembler out on the net
for the 6809, but not much else.

Thanks John. I have been to both sites, applied for a subscription to
the usergroup, got no response, and I've been in contact Michael
Holley about things here and there. He has been a big help. Must be
nice to have both 6800 & 6809 setups, I have none, that's why I made a
wirewrap board.

Dennis : "Vincekit"? LOL, I guess. It's been on my tado list for too
long. I used a SWTPc 6809 system with CT-82 when I was in Highschool.
I'd love to get my hands on a CT-82, those terminals were just so
cool. I'm not going to say anything until I have a complete setup
working. Just think 6800 or 6809 choice SBC with floppy. The DAT (Data
Address Translator) was not included in my wirewrap board and I
removed the code from SBUG 1.8 that configures it. I wonder if it is
needed for Flex, but I haven't found anything that requires it yet.
See the MP09B assembly manual for info on the DAT. Just looking at
maybe doing a basic system with some RAM < 64K serial port and floppy
controller. I'm building a wirewrap SS30 floppy controller now and
I'll see if I can get Flex running. If I can, I'll look into doing
kits.

Then I suggest that you send a message to the owner of the mailing
list, Michael Evenson. I think his address is on the "root page" of
flexusergroup.com.

Ok, I sent off another mail. Is the group active, It looks like the
web page hasn't been updated since 2003?

The web page has been sorely neglected, but I think the group is
alive. I unsubscribed from the mailing list in Sep 2007 because of lack
of time, but I still have nearly daily contact with a few of the
members.

I understand, it looks like many of the 6809 and FLEX projects are
finished business. Just in case somebody wants to see what I'm working
on:

Sorry if this is a dup, I am not sure I replied to the right place before.

I have refreshed my memory for what I did 25+ years ago and now realize I
have all the original parts (Soon to got to the dumpster) and much more.

I did the same thing way back then.

Hi,

I used TSC's Flex Basic (And it's Basic preprocessor) when I developed
Urbane Using some FLEX emulator on my PC.

I also have TSC's development system (Without Disk, console and so on
drivers). Samples supplied!

If you do not get what you need, E-Mail me: ***@mindspring.com

I got my home built 6809 system running FLEX using the instructions they
supplied, after replacing 2 (TWO!!!) bad floppy disk drives.

The files are in the group's ftp archive. You'll get the login name
and password if you subscribe to the mailing list.

I tried the same approach as Vince, about 2 years ago. Michael Holley
helped me get my systems up and running then directed me to the flex user
group. I applied for membership 2 years ago, and have sent several emails.
Still waiting for a reply. I think someone died over there.

It's not a very active list, but it is certiantly not dead.

Oh, _TELL_ me there's going to be a "Vincekit" SWTPC 6809 replica.
I want!
