Low level programming info wanted.
« on: June 15, 2006, 12:30:29 PM »
Hi,

I'm not 100% sure this is the proper forum, but since it is about development I figured I'd best put it here. With that out of the way:

I'm looking for low level information regarding the OCS/ECS chipset. Things like adress offsets, register contents, how to program the custom chips etc.

I fully know this isn't seen as A Good Thing (TM) for modern programming, but I want to dabble in some hardware banging. For fun mostly, perhaps eventually to make some small retro games on a retro platform.

I'd prefer it if the information didn't assume I allready knew everything.

Is such information available and if so, where can I find it?

I appologize if this question has been answered allready, I haven't found the information I'm looking for in my internet search.

Right, I'll go get that then.

Sounds like what I need anyway :-)

Thanks, I'll check those out as well.

I've always been fascinated with the Amiga Chipset as -unlike my C64 before that- I never did find the needed data to bang the hardware myself.

Oh and in a major 'Doh!' moment I just found I allready have the Amiga Developer CD 2.1. I just forgot about that!

Time to get some serious information overload going  :-D
