- I have been trying to figure out how to boot on a 68000/008/010 and
- have seen various methods of figuring out how to have rom at $0000 but
- ram at $008-$3FF, one thing I noted was that the restart vectors are
- in the supervisor program space while everying else is in supervisor
- data, so can I use the fc[0-2] pins to remap the low few words of the
- address space in supervisor program only to somewere else in my
- address map.
-
- Does this idea make sense? it seams easer than trying to have the
- computer on boot clear a bit somewere and in doing so remap the rom?
-
- any ideas?
-
- ps is there a FAQ for this group? in not mabey we should have one.
