Default Re: New SC/MP II system

Just quickly would it not be quicker to use the Extension register as a fixed offset from 256 byte pages - it can be used on both pointers and then only change the High Bytes to move through pages?

In my SCRUMPI serial bootstrap I use a fixed page endpoint (rather than like you creating a general COPY) but, you could make that part of a pointer... PUTCHAR is the serial transmit in this instance of a similar approach

Code:
	LDI	/PUTCHR-1
	XPAH	P3
	LDI	#PUTCHR-1&255
	XPAL	P3

REPEAT:
	LDI	/MESSAGE-1
	XPAH	P2
	LDI	#MESSAGE-1&255
	XPAL	P2

LOOP:	
	LD	@1(P2)
	XPPC	P3
	LD	-1(P2)
	XRI	#0x04		;Is it EOT
	JNZ	LOOP
