The poster referred to a warning from CATS not to use the TAS instruction. As I remember, TAS is an instruction during which the 68000 believes that it has the bus for the entire instruction execution time, and effectively runs what it believes to be a Read/Modify/Write cycle. But the custom chips don't take too nicely to this kind of activity and can take away the bus before the instruction can be completed. I don't know what effect that has on the instruction or the processor, but it can, at the very least, make the instruction suspect. Rob Peck
