The M6800 EXORciser is a system development tool for the M6800 Microcomputer Family. It allows users to design, develop, evaluate, and debug M6800 microcomputer systems and hardware. The system features modularity, flexibility, and expandability. It supports communication via RS-232C or TTY terminals and includes functions like program stepping, tracing, breakpoint insertion, and memory manipulation. The basic system comprises the MPU Module, Debug Module, Baud Rate Module, and Power Supply, housed in a chassis that can hold up to 14 plug-in modules. Optional modules extend its capabilities with memory, I/O, and custom circuit construction features.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| SWITCH/ INDICATOR | FUNCTION |
|---|---|
| RUN Indicator | The RUN indicator is on when the EXORciser is running the user's program and is not on when the EXORciser is in EXbug (Upper 4K of memory). |
| PWR Indicator | The PWR (PoWeR) indicator indicates the status of the EXORciser PWR keyswitch. The PWR indicator is ON when the PWR switch is ON. |
| AUX Indicator | The AUX (AUXiliary) indicator is not used at this time. (Wired in cable harness and available on the Baud Rate Module). |
| RESTART Switch | The RESTART pushbutton switch, when actuated, resets and initializes the EXORciser. The EXORciser on completing its initialization routine, goes to its EXbug control program. |
| PWR | The PWR (PoWeR) key switch, when on, applies primary power to the EXORciser. |
| ABORT | The ABORT pushbutton switch, when actuated, aborts or exits the EXORciser from the routine it is performing and returns the EXORciser to its Exbug control program. |
| BAUD RATE (Switch) | The BAUD RATE switch allows the user to select the data transfer rate between the EXORciser and the data terminal. |
