I was speaking about the "regular" cartridges.

I really don't have any interest in the Demo carts because they
are so popular. I do have a prototype of football but that came
with some other carts.

I have one. Not because I found it, but because it was given
to me. Other than that I have not seen another.

I wish I have the time to put up nice pictures like this. Great

I did get a chance to do some F8 programming about 1982 at AMF's
Electronics Research Lab. I had to modify the code in a rowing
machine. They added a clip for the ear lobe that measured your
heart rate. I used a 3870 because I could try out new code by
inserting a new EPROM on to the processor. I did burn out one of the 3870s
and I stuck a white ceramic 1702 on top and made it
into a tie clip to remind me. That was the only processor I have
every destroyed. And I still have it today.
As for the instruction set, the only thing I remember is that
the ACC was always trashed on a return from subroutine. I think
the processor use it to pull the return address from the stack.
What was the question?
