[Coco] Bud Pass programs

[Dave Philipsen]

That's nice. So is the source for that disassembler part of the NitrOS9 repo now?

I don't use disassemblers very often but they have come in handy from time to time. I'm pretty sure it was Sleuth that I used back in the 80s and landed a promotion for some reverse engineering I did on a little 6809 board.

But for 6809, I've found nothing better. It works from disk and allows you to make multiple runs through the code to set FCB, FDB, FCC etc. You can save your work to come back to it at any time.

The manual is for the RSDOS version, but I've completely typed it in by hand and tried to make the needed changes to reflect the OS9 version. There's almost no diffence between the two except the startup and file loading instructions. All cmds work the same.

It would probably be easy to modify Bud's disassembler to correctly disassemble OS9 system calls though.DaveOn 9/21/2016 7:34 PM, James Jones wrote:> Excellent news!
