6809 ASM Development Environment

[ForgottenMachines]

Hi! Just found your channel this week, and I love your tutorials!

I'm wanting to install your development environment so I can try some of your basic ASM programs "Hello World" for the RadioShack CoCo1 6809, and I appreciate your reply to my comment on your YouTube videos!

The devtools are here - the link was wrong on that lessons page, I'll get it fixed
https://www.chibiakumas.com/6809/6809DevTools.php

So at the top of this page are two download files:

Download the toolkit
Download the latest sample code

I've downloaded both .7z files from these download links. The files are different names, but otherwise the contents of these files are identical. Both of them contain a folder called

6809DevTools

So, looks like the contents of 6809Sources.7z is missing/replaced with 6809DevTools.

In addition to that, I was hoping that the contents of this would contain a Windows install to install your development environment, but I can't find any such install. So my main question is how do I install (on Windows 10/11) the development platform that you wrote all of this assembly in?



Thanks so much!

Best,
AJ

I don't know why you say the two files are identical, they are not, I just downloaded them both, and they are different sizes and content. please see the attached screenshot.

The online documentation on the download page wasn't very good, I'll get it updated, but here is the correct procedure:

1. Download both the Sources.7z and Devtools.7z onto your machine.

2. Extract the Devtools.7z into a folder on your machine - preserving the directory structure.

3. Extract the Sources.7z into the same folder, overwrite any existing files (the sources.7z is newer)

4. From that folder, run "Qdrive.bat". This will create a virtual Q drive on your machine... if Q is in use, R or S will be used.

5. From that virtual drive, Run "Notepad++.bat" to edit

when you are done use "Qdrive-remove" to remove the Q drive
