Hi Richard,
Welcome aboard!. It's nice to see that new nembers are still joining the group,
in fact I joined the group some years ago also looking for programming info :)
In the "Files" section, you can find some demos that you can try on your
Einstein/emulator and if you want, feel free to contact me about the
sources....or much better, I'm wondering why I didn't upload the sources along
the COM. So, probably I'll update a bit the "Files" section.
If you've any question about programming (I must warn you that I'm not an expert
at all when talking about MOS, I'm more into the direct hardware access) I'll do
my best to answer you. There're a lot of MOS/DOS expert around here; so I'm sure
you'll find a lot of info asking here.
Of course, don't hesitate to contact me through email if you want more detailed
info.
Again, welcome to the group!
P.D.: There're some nice and exciting new projects "growing" (USB support!) in
the group; so I think that it's a good time to join and take part of them ;)
Jose

the near future (funds allowing).
