Mini refers to small and barebones (thus requiring some serious advanced knowledge about how things works). Macro refers to something entirely different
Indeed. The mini assembler isn't much more than an opcode table anyway. Why not skip the fuss and learn to do it the old fashioned way, with paper and an opcode table? The ref card eBay item I linked earlier includes an opcode table, forward/reverse relative tables, et c. Bonus: it's completely machine independent. You don't have to figure out if some other computer is working or not, just assemble the little sample routines yourself (you won't be doing anything complicated enough to need a real assembler at first anyway) and key them into the monitor. You could use anything from an emulator to a KIM-1. Thanks, Jonathan
