Programming the 65816

Programming the 65816 Including the 6502, 65C02, and 65802 It is with great excitement that we present this book, which not only introduces the 65816 and the 65802 in complete detail for the first time, but also encompasses the 6502 and 65C02 in what is meant to provide a complete reference guide to the 65x family. As 6502 enthusiasts, we believe the two new 16-bit microprocessors— the 65802 and the 65816—represent a great leap forward. We think they hold the potential in days ahead for advances in systems and software even greater than those realized by the 6502 in the early days of the microcomputer revolution. Because of their unique compatibility with the 6502 and 65C02, they bridge the past with the future in a way that no other microprocessor has done. While this collaboration represents our first work of reference propor­ tions in the computer science field, both of us have written extensively in this field and others, and both of us develop software professionally. It was our unalloyed enthusiasm for the subject that led us to this under­ taking. We hope the thrill we experienced when we ran our first 65802 programs on beta copies of the processor plugged into our Apples wi
