After speaking with members of the VICE team they are pretty sure this is a problem in the GETIN kernel routine which is used by cc65. I would greatly appreciate it if someone with a real VIC can verify that the keys do not work on real hardware before I bring the problem up in the cc65 forums.

L’epoca Tramiel: la serie XE e XEGS
Anche se la Commodore riuscì a passare indenne la guerra dei prezzi, Jack Tramiel acquistò la Atari dalla Warner, pagandola un prezzo bassissimo. L’idea di Tramiel era quella di produrre un computer ad un prezzo estremamente basso.
Le ultime macchine a 8-bit furono presentate il 5 gennaio 1985 al Winter CES di Las Vegas. Erano il 65XE ed il 130XE. Il 65XE era l’erede del 800XL. Originariamente chiamato 900XLF, il 65XE era quasi equivalente al 800XL (ad eccetto del PBI). Il 65XE (versione europea) e il 130XE avevano l’Enhanced Cartridge Interface (ECI), una variante del Parallel Bus Interface (PBI). Il 130XE aveva 128kB di memoria, accessibile attraverso la selezione di banchi (grazie all’FREDDIE e al chip EMMU). Il modello 800XE, disponibile in Europa, era un 130XE con metà di memoria. La sigla XE significa XL-Expanded. Atari introdusse il 130XE con l’intento di cavalcare la popolarità dell’originale 800XL.
Con il rifiorire del mercato dei videogiochi, trainato dalla Nintendo, Atari produsse il XE Game System (XEGS), rilasciato nel 1987. Il XEGS era venduto assieme ad una tastiera esterna, un joystick, una pistola (XG-1) e un paio di giochi. Questo modello non ebbe mai successo.
Il 1º gennaio 1992, la Atari abbandonò lo sviluppo dei suoi computer a 8-bit.
