Hello people...

Graham on the keys once again.

Ever brought your coding disks to a party, but forgot your Assembler?
Ever searched hour after hour for it at home?
Ever needed to reload it everytime you started your code?

Here is the ultimate (well, ultimate in case you have a c128) answer:

Make TurboAss a resetoption!!!

How to do it? EASY!
Take the enclosed ROM IMAGE and an EPROM of 16K size (27128).
Burn the image onto the EPROM and plug it into the empty EPROM
slot in your c128... finished!!

To start up the assembler (namely: Turbo Illasm V3.0 by Lynchbit/Lepsi)
just press the c128's reset button together with the CONTROL KEY.

That's all!

Due to the fact that the EPROM is called by the c128 resetroutine,
some of the adresses in c64 basic memory get overwritten:

$0A04
$0AC0-$0AC4

$1100-$1107

$FF00-$FFFF

Avoid these adresses for precalculated tables.


My routine will detect a Final Cartridge 3 and activate it, so don't
be afraid that you'll have to work without monitor/fastloader.

WARNING! This will not work with Action Replay since this cartridge
doesn't offer the possibility to enter c128 mode!



BIG THANKS to Lynchbit/Lepsi for his kewl Turbo Illasm, which I used
for this rom image.


L8r folks! Graham/Oxyron is off...



P.S. remember, if you burn the EPROM on other machines than c64/128
     you'll have to skip the first two bytes!!!

P.P.S. You should consider using a 32K EPROM and burn the image
       into the second half of it. This allows other programs to be
       added!
