The Joys of Code Reuse

An Intel 8021 MCU

Was up early this morning. I wanted the emulator to emulate both the TMS1100 and the Intel 8021, and I already had a Java i8021 emulator, so I've retrofitted that to the emulator and converted it to 'C'.

There's already a nice assembler (Alfred Arnold's "AS") which is free and portable for this MCU.

There is a freeware TMS1x00 assembler but it's broken because it doesn't fix up the LDP/CALL/BR addresses properly - long branches and calls (e.g. out of page) in one of these controllers are done with two (or sometimes three) instructions, one to set the page, one to do the branch or call.
