Dan's suggestion worked: typing an exclamation inside the monitor brought me into the mini-assembler.
I need a book * specifically * for the enhanced/Platinum model. Otherwise I won't know which mistakes are mine vs which are differences in the computer.
Some of you will advise me to just get an older Apple II instead :) but I don't have space for another system.
Well, you really don't want to use the mini-assembler for more than the introductory exercises, anyway, which is the source of all your computer specific problems. Here are couple of options: Consider Merlin 8bit: http://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/images/programming/assembl... Merlin is an IDE (and macro assembler.. just trust me, that's a really good thing) that will make life much easier programming 6502 directly on your IIe. The text editor is, well, different, though. My preference is Merlin 16bit on the IIgs, but I know you don't want to bring a IIgs into the equation. Consider, however, Merlin 32bit for Windows/Linux/MacOSX etc.: http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/products/crossdevtools/merlin/ Then you have to find a way to get the files onto a disk for your IIe (a bit a of a problem, unless you are lucky enough to have a CFFA card... in which case life is easy). "Assembly Lines" use Merlin syntax and all three of these are directly compatible with the book. Best wishes, -Adam
