[volt-nuts] Guide to programming the Hitachi 6303?

[Bob Paddock]

> I am massively hampered in this task as I don't have any experience of assembly programming 6800 or similar CPUs (or indeed any micro processors).  Are there any good resources online I can download, or books I can buy to that will get me on the road.

Long version  where I answered that question on my blog:
http://blog.softwaresafety.net/2011/03/how-do-i-get-started-in-this-field-with.html

Short version, get this; "Understanding Small Microcontrollers" by
James M. Sibigtroth:

http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/ref_manual/M68HC05TB.pdf

6805 is close enough to the 6800 that you'll get the concepts.

I used the EPROM version of the 6303 long ago.  It was touchy to the
reset pin timing.
If it only has a pull-up and cap on the reset line, make sure that cap
hasn't go bad.

Do you truly have the ROM 6303 or do you have a EPROM 6303 (6703?
Doesn't look right.)?

Think I do still have a 6303 Op-Code Reference Cheat Sheet here that I
could scan,  if that would help you out?  I know I got rid of the data
books long ago.
