Toot

Just wrote my first ever bytes of 6502 code in assembly and ran it on Apple //e.

All this with built-in monitor and its miniassembler.

At least on Apple //e you can just enter monitor from basic using CALL -151 and then type ! [enter] to activate the mini-assembler. (No need to activate it by F666G).

And if you want to do it too, but don't have access to one, you can always use MAME/

@plaes Forgive my curiosity, do you have experience with Apple //s but not in assembly? Just wondering if this is a project not resulting from (first hand) nostalgia....

From a former Apple //c user (but not programmer, although I did type in a program from the back of a magazine.)

@gnate No nostalgia. I saw my machine (together with monitor and two disk drives) on local auction site few years ago. It took maybe a year of occasional troubleshooting to get it actually working (roms were bad) and now I just occasionally tinker with it. Later I converted it from IIe to //e and I have also built a RP2040-based VGA card for it (to keep CRT in storage).
