I see. Has anybody posted on this list all the 6532 PIA registers and
their addresses?

Mmm... Could you explain that again? I don´t think that I understood it.
I always thought that $285 was a timer mirror, look what Dragon fire does:
12DB 2C8502 BIT $0285
12DE 10FB BPL $12DB

No, I had been working on a VCS emulator for some time, so I had seen a
lot of strange memory accesses ;-)
$2A2 is accessed by Marine wars, $29D and $29E by Starfox, but I´ve never
took the time to disassemble them. I can´t get a stable screen with those
games, so I probably will...
Bye,
Nicolás.
