Detect C128 in C64-mode without exploiting 2mhz mode?
Reason: Easyflash emulation in 1541u2 doesn’t work in 2mhz mode. |

No sure about $01 but instead of $37 it always reports $77 on a c128 in c64 mode after powerup. Thing is that other hardware may influence a stock c64 the same way I suppose.

Bit 6 description is not clear here. |

Ahh very interesting!
Indeed the MOS8502 have P0-P6 defined whereas MOS6510 only have P0-P5.
Digging schematics now. |

P6 is caps-lock. Since it's generally advised to have caps-lock unpressed during boot P6 will always be 1. Specifically it can never be 1 on a MOS6510.
So if it's P6=1 it's definitely a C128. If P6=0 it still can be a C128. |

Define "exploiting 2 MHz mode". =)
Is it okay to read $D030 after reset?
Should be $FD (turbo mode off, line-skip off).
(Beware for Turbo Chameleon: it has $FE for turbo mode off but $FF for turbo mode on, which is the same value a C-64 reads there.)
Either way, only C-128 can have bit 1 (line-skip) set to 0. |

all port bits are there and they also work - see https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/code/HEAD/tree/testprogs/CPU.. ... i dont think they can be used to detect c128 reliably
BUT... whats the problem with 2MHz? just put a small code snippet to RAM, bank out the EF, do what you need to do and switch back? if that still makes U2 freak out.... wtf, its broken. |

Whoops. Should be:

Should be $FC (turbo mode off, line-skip off). |

better: if its $ff, then its a c64 |

Quoting Groepazbetter: if its $ff, then its a c64 Or a Turbo Chameleon in turbo mode, no? |

Never even considered that! Stupid me! :D |

Yes, that's a good solution also! |
