Greetings:
With which ZP pointers would I use to detect, beforehand, when the c64 performs it's own Garbage Collection.. Like, would anyone be able to help me write some code I can attach to the IRQ.

When there is only a tiny little bit of memory left, set a address to (1). Then, when I do my own garbage collection, I can NULL that address. All the while, having an IRQ routine that polls the memory location for a (1), if true, let me collection garbage, and zero that address.

If the address is zero, the irq code will exit..

Im trying to NOT let the c64 collect on its own.. force my own collection code.

Thanks In Adavance! :)
