- That command is for the F***ING SEKA/AsmOne assembler. It is to allocate
- a block of memory. Use DCB or DS instead. The same for DevPac (and work
- with any decent version of SEKA/AsmOne, too)
- Books: There should come some OK docs with the assembler, and you ought to
- buy Commodores manuals... They're not particularly about 68000 assembly,
- but you need them if you want to get anything DONE.
- Also, a book about the 68000 (not machine-specific) would be nice to have.
- I would suggest getting one including the timings; you wil like to have
- them l8er, but it is no BIG deal.
