Re: A86: [OT] Chess algorithm
I forgot about the 2600. You sure it was 6507? All the stuff I have says
6502. Or are they object code compatible CPU's? Do you have the cart/ROM
for that? I think that with a non-standard memory controller, you could put
ram on the cart, and banked switched rom (standard cart rom for the 2600 was
2k).
But either way, good point :)
