Do you have any recommendations for excellent books with good code examples for 68k programming?

I see it as a potentially powerful tool for someone who is an experience programmer already. Maybe implemented as part of an IDE where it can make auto-complete suggestions using a code library of your own. That way the code will already be familiar (since it's based off code you wrote), and...

So my app is now feature complete. This is the simple Reader, I do have an Editor, but since it's based off the Reader, I wanted to make sure the Reader app is mostly bug free before continuing off the same code base to make the Editor. My app is an extremely simple database program with a...

OK. It's been nearly a month, and I've managed to accomplish what I suspect a competent programmer could have done in a weekend. :ROFLMAO: Parts have been an immense struggle. The AI loves to hallucinate. I make a LOT of copies of code as I make short but stable progress. The problem I run...

@nottomhanks A common upgrade for the II and IIx. You got a motherboard and a sticker to slap on the bottom.

@Capt_Redbeard This is a really good point. It'd be well worth it to contact the seller to see if they have the computer that this card belonged to. You might strike gold twice.

@Bolle I presume you already reached out to JDW? He speaks Japanese. (I feel like we've already discussed this several times before. :P)

How about a VintageCoin that can ONLY be mined on a machine running between 1 and 40 MHz. :D Make it a proof-of-stake for hosting a file sharing server with vintage and retro materials. Not sure how you'd enforce it, though, if someone could just run 10,000 emulation instances.

Yeah. I've been scouring eBay off and on for probably the past 20 years checking II, IIx, and IIfx auctions to take a peak at the motherboards. I figure it's just as likely a IIfx-upgraded II or IIx would be a likely candidate for a Tokamac as any IIfx, especially if the owner is trying to...

Wow, extremely lucky. Would love to get one of those even without the required motherboard. It's one of those things that I'd hang onto just incase the motherboard shows up. Congrats.

I don't agree. Bitcoin is 100% speculative, while a fiat currency is backed by the country's ability to pay its debts one way or another. But this is an argument for a different thread. I didn't mean to hijack it.

So I decided to start from scratch after a couple days of fiddling around. This time I set up parameters before I started and it's working a LOT better and producing compatible code way more often. It seems to be pulling its code almost exclusively from Julian Skidmore's "One Week Wonder"...

I've been told by others that it does a great job commenting Assembly to make it easier to understand what's going on.

Depends on the crypto. Bitcoin was (is still) a proof-of-concept. It literally does nothing because the calculations performed were supposed to be representative of real work done. The blockchain was intended to be an immutable ledger and proof you did the work, and instead of using Bitcoin...

I think it would be very useful for an accomplished programmer who knows what they're doing and has a large repository of code they've written. The LLM can can train off that repository and produce code that the programmer is accustomed to and would find it relatively easy to follow and debug...
