The Pha is strobing HMOVE at cycle 12, where the HMOVE
results are considered to be *weird* ;-)

How exactly does the PHA work? The only 6502 reference I have only says it "pushes accumulator". Can someone please translate it?

But what about the other "weird" pha instruction? Using the same logic, I can assume it strobes $6A. What is it there? Is there any other "syntax hints" Z26 do for me when tracing code?

Btw... I would really appreciate a 6502 Opcode Reference other than the one im using now. (http://www.6502.org/tutorials/6502opcodes.htm). Is there anything more comprehensive than that? A quick reference table would also be great. I remember a great 6502 opcode Matrix a while ago, but cant find it anymore... Most of the links in The Dig are dead

Cya,
Rodrigo
