FOLLOW-UP THOUGHTS

Ok. I have been looking at writing OS independent I/O handling of my keyboard. Not the easiest thing in the world to start with and clearly I am at the deep end of the swimming pool. I have trawled documentation on my baby's hardware but this is complex stuff. G suggested I look at NetBSD to find out how I/O is implemented there, but, although more graspable, is still beyond mine at the moment. C suggested I revisit 'peek' and 'poke' in the C64, but that was a little unkind of him. (but only a little). Ok. Take a step back. Play with VM Forth. And find the simplest hardware there is on the market to experiment with. To be continued ...
