@roelh I've added the LDX and STX instructions for indirect load/store. It couldn't be done with a single microcoded instruction because there are not enough t-states available. The assembler now translates the instruction to a set of multiple instructions that perform the operation.

Hi Roel, you are right, I missed the indirect load/save instructions! This is where you see that I have very little experience with assembly :-)

I will definitely add those!

There is a stack space reserved (FF00 - FFFF) solely for the purpose of storing return addresses. The RET instruction loads the memory address from the stack into the C-D register and then loads that into the Program Counter.

The C-D pair is also used to load the Stack Pointer value and pass that to the MAR. I will use the same principle for the indirect save/load, so it should only be a matter of adding a bit of microcode.

Thanks for pointing this out!!

Hi Ruud, in your overview I miss instructions for indirect load and save. I thought that the C-D register pair was ment for that. Will you add them ? And the return address for CALL, is it stored in the C-D pair ?
