A simulator for the CPU inside the Mirage. Plus, I've added special messages when Mirage hardware (filters, Q-Chip) is accessed! Use the included mirage.hex file. It's the ROM code and the Mirage OSv3.2 together.

I've also added the capability to read Motorola S1 files such as mos32.hex as produced by Tim Victor- just remove the debugger instructions at the top of his files. Source code to sim6809 included. A "merci beaucoup" to the french guy who originally wrote it and made it open software.

Spec for the Cartridge Expansion on the Mirage! Oh yeah! I wonder if someone would like to build an IDE harddrive interface for this Mirage? The specs for the OS are available below, and it would be pretty fun to change around the hooks to use a Hard Drive. The IDE spec is here: IDE HD spec

Another project idea for the expansion port is an LCD screen. simple directions to attach and LCD to a 6502 interface are here: LCD
