PowerPC asm programming
« on: February 25, 2003, 07:32:59 PM »
I'm a x86 programmer.  So when I do my asm programming I use the x86 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit registers. Now what I need to know is the PowerPC  equivalents of the x86 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit registers. This will help me port my x86 VESA VBE programs over to AmigaOS. So if any one knows a table or any other infomation, let me know thanks
I also need to know the PowerPC equivalent to the x86 interrupt 10h

Interrupt 10h is not a msdos thing... It's a x86 video biso thing.

The only computer I have at this time is a IBM ThinkPad 755CX with a P75 CPU. So I have no way to test my PowerPC apps

I like to try to stay far away from any proprietary code. This allows me to port my code to other operating systems written for the PowerPC.
