To the point where undocumented op codes that worked on the 6502 (regardless of the manufacturer!) work on the 6510 (and probably the 8502 as well). The 65C02 and the 65816, on the other hand, have reassigned those op codes to new instructions, so programs that depend on undocumented op codes (PaperClip) don't work on these CPUs. -- Geoffrey Welsh - via FidoNet node 1:221/162 UUCP: ...!watmath!isishq!171!izot Internet: izot@f171.n221.z1.FIDONET.ORG
