The C-128 uses the 8502 chip, which is an enhanced version of the 6502.
If I use a 6502 assembler to generate 8502 code, can I still run in the
c128 mode? What are the advantages of using the enhanced set? Can I kluge
the source code to generate instructions in the enhanced set from a regular
assembler, such as the PAL, or MERLIN?
