SX Quick-Reference Card

Hello SXers,
some of you have been asking for something like this since a while. Here is my first version. I have compiled some information about the SX controllers that I thought might be helpful. I arranged this into a 2-page ZIPped PDF document that can be printed out on both sides of a legal format stationary. People - like me - who are used to DIN formats might use the "fit to printer scale", or similar printing option. When you have printed it, you may fold it like a "Z" if you like.
When you find errors, or typos in the document, or have any suggestions, please let me know. I'm also open for your suggestions what you like to see in the blank "Notes" area.
Have fun!
Added later:
Oops - now I found the first typos myself: Some of the execution cycle specifications in the Instruction Set Summary were wrong. I have exchanged the attached file with an updated version. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Added 07/31/2007: In order not to mess up older and newer versions of the Quick Ref file, I have removed it from this post (see my next post for the most recent version). Whenever I have an updated version available, I'll placa a new post in this thread, and remove older versions from previous posts.

believe me, or not - I'm using this reference card while working on my own SX projects. Therefore, I recently found another bug:
In the OPTION Register section, the meaning of the RTE_IE bit is wrong: Other than in the text, the RTCC rollover inerrupt is enabled when the bit is cleared, and it is disabled when the bit is set.
I have attached a new copy of the SX Quick-Reference Card where this bug has been fixed.

The only problem I have is when saving it, it gets saved as SX and nothing else, windows didn't know what to do with it, untill I renamed it SX.zip
Maybe use _ between words, I don't know.
Thanks!
John, you are right, it prints on "letter" size paper, not "legal". When I did the formatting, I had "you yanks" in mind

couple of SX projects again and found that I've already forgotten almost everything about the SX command set.
This comes at a perfect time, and it should be helpful.

nice to see you back in "SX Land" - have fun, and don't forget: There are no COGs inside the SXes

A very useful addition to your very good book.
Maybe you should·have produced it in the Metric/DIN A4 that the rest of the world uses and let the Yanks battle to resize it the way we do with their Imperial/Inch system.

good argument about the format
Wouldn't it be great if one day all people in the world would talk the same language, use the same metrics, all drive on the "right" side of the road, have the same mains voltage, use the same wall outlets, etc., etc.? Too bad - this is only a dream.

It's not just "yanks", it's "Imperialist Yankee Pigs"!
I have not other explanation as to why we still use this archaic system of measurement. Although, on this particual topic, I find the "Yankee" letter size sheet of paper easier to handle than the "A4" (or our "legal" size). The proportions make the sheet "more stable".
Proud to be a yank, and one of the "Imperialist Yankee Pigs" without really meaning to be.

I was told by a southern person that a "yankee" is a northerner that visits the south and goes back home. A "damn yankee" is a northerner that visits the south and stays.

My last words shall be - "NOT YET!!!"
And I guess I'm a Damn Yankee then... lol. I'm from Boston but have lived in Atlanta for 20 years.
Or maybe I'm a confused damn yankee since I spent 8 years living in europe, so I KNOW metric (and like it) but I do agree about A4 size. Apart from being able to put just a teeny bit more info on a page, it's not ideal for carrying around in my laptop bag as the edges are forced to crinkle and fold up. Ok, so I'd get a EURO laptop bag.
Second Observation – In my opinion, there were only two great leaders in The US Civil War, Lincoln and Robert E Lee. But then I’m entitled to be confused, I am an ex soldier from a country with a history of overcoming Racism.
