Added a few more features for a stack (algol) architecture.
LDP push AC and loadAC. A microcode hack that sets a psh flag,pushes ac,then clears flag for a normal load.
STI store indirect.SWT swap top of stack is planned.

Added two indexing operations, ATX (Add 2 * index),AFX (Add 4 * index) to simply array indexing.
I needed to make a hardware mod for this. Now PIP-69, as it has instruction set for what a one pass Algol Compiler
might need. Lea and Display operations are too complex to include.
Ben.

Replaced STI with NOP, and SWT with SWP.
Renamed PIP69 to PIP73.

Renamed PIP69 to PIP73. STI=? When I see STI I think set interrupt mask, or store immediate. One can get by without a set/clear interrupt if it can be done in the interrupt controller. SWT=? SWP=? And what are the PIP's? I think the routing junctions in the FPGA are called PIP's. _________________Robert Finch http://www.finitron.ca

STI - Store indirect. ((R+)) = AC
PIP programed information processor, almost like PDP...
Made the interrupt enable a counter, 0,1,2 if EI increment counter, DI decrement counter.
Irq's are enabled if the counter is 2. This way I can have atomic instructions one level deep.

Slide deck here explains a lot of FPGA implementation and terminology https://magic3007.github.io/data/talks/ ... slides.pdf(maybe a bit specific to Xilinx)

Got the new alu card pcb in with all the pcb patches fixed, and it does not read or write memory.
I plan to remove all the wire patches off the working ALU pcb, and revise the order code removing the need for pcb patches.

I got a strange bug, reading a 8 on a octal display.
Time to call it a day for debugging.

Time to call it a day for debugging. Wow! What a coincidence. I got an 8 bug too. Displaying on the screen, supposed to be the core number. Anybody else get an '8' bug? Is the decimal point lit up too? (If there is one). _________________Robert Finch http://www.finitron.ca

Decided to rebuild the alu board with new caps (50% larger)
Only 1 wire mod to the PCB. (old pcb version)
PCB china $20 1x
small parts $75 digikey
atf1508as $25 china 2 month delivery
74ls219 $25 china 1 month delivery
right angle header $5 (1 on hand)
total $150 not counting shipping

Added back some more features, mostly just see it it would fit in the CPLD,
ATX Add 2 x index reg.
SWP ac with (R). Almost all my opcode space is filled.
Come 3 am I will have more ideas to try.
Ben.

Ben. SWP (swap) fits in the CPLD but it has a timing issue and it crashes after a few moments. After about 110 or macrocells the system is unstable, (Need to add ' Windows Crashed,sending error log file to APPLE' ) Replaced SWP with HLT, and now you can continue after a HLT. 108 macro cells.

Forgot about increment, decrement memory so I added that in.
Having some build issues, so I am running my test program.
Have 97203 ROOT BEER Bottles ... May take a while.
16 bitters 9,999 bottles only.
