#F256K2 finally got my spectrum analyzer part of my C mp3 player going on my 8-bit mode F256K2. That took a lot of tries and guesswork.

The F256K is from Foenix Retro Systems: https://c256foenix.com/ It is an 8 or 16 bit machine being able to swap around the CPU with a 6502, 65816 or 6809. This playback program was coded with llvm-mos C adapted for the F256 machines in 8-bit mode. https://kangaroopunch.com/view/ShowSoftware?id=13
