Subject: Re: EX800 EPROM file corrupted in Files section ?

Ok, I found what was wrong with DAMSx. The problem was between the chair and the computer....

I just declared vectors in place of RST entries at beginning of the symbol file. So DAMSx interprets the data at address 0x0000 as a jump to address 0x06B9...

In fact, RST are not vectors for the 8085, they are entry-points, and the symbol must be different in the table for DASMx.

I just updated my symbol table and now, the EPROM file is disassembled correctly.
