RE: A85: converter



actually, I was thinking of doing this. =)  It will be very impossible to
directly run the string through a pc program, and then end up with a
program for the 86.  Possible, just very hard.

I was thinking of just a compiling utility that takes care of the many
calls and ram addresses that are different.  In the change to the 86, only
one port was gotten rid of, one was added, and one wsa changed.  I think
the IY table is mostly the same, also.

What's different is the VAT, totally different, because of ram pages, yeah,
8 of them.  I also think the 86 is a little slower, because even when not
jumping to the ti-interrupt, grayscale still flickers, maybe it's just me.  

I've already written a zshellish shell to run asm programs easily, so I
oculd just add support for special zshell strings.

Anyone interested in recompiling their zshell programs for the 86?  Some
things won't work, like grayscale, vat functions...
