re: A89: Re: porting Z80 to 68k.....possible??
Why is it crazy?? There are similar instructions on both processors, the 68k has more
registers so you don't have to worry about running out, and the languages are pretty much the
same (I've programmed in both and they are very similar). I don't see any difficulties except
for the memory locations which would be easily switched between calcs. I dunno, maybe I'm
just stupid and I don't know anything about this, but from my POV, it looks like a good idea.
