This computer
like all other computers comes to life though software,
software that runs at start-up, and so here we introduce TUTOR. |

TUTOR |
|
TUTOR is a ROM resident 68K Monitor program originally
designed for use with the Motorola MC68000 Educational
Computer Board (MEX68KECB).
The version of TUTOR here (V1.3.01) has been adapted for use with the
Mega-68000 Computer System fitted with the following

The TUTOR ROM is an
AMD Am27C4096 256K x 16 UV EPROM. The lower half of the
ROM resides in memory at
FC0000-FFFFFF, the upper half is unused and
unaddressable. |

The very
popular and inexpensive TL866A MiniPro Programmer was
used here to program the TUTOR ROMs. Before attempting
to program the ROMs with a TL866A check the following
