MAX II Project Ideas

I was going to try to implement a low end processor core in a Max II part. Perhaps the good old Commadore64 architecture would be a good one to go for. The C64 if I remember correctly had the following registers:

A (data 8 bits)

B (data 8 bits)

D (A and B registers stuck together for 16 bit operations)

X (index 16 bits)

Y (index 16 bits)

PC (program counter 16 bits)

SP (stack pointer 16 bits)

Then you can reuse the old ROM, compilers (basic), ...... Space Taxi :)
