Hey everyone.
Trying to teach myself Apple II assembly. I have NO experience at this. All I ever learned was LOGO in elementary school and AppleSoft (Microsoft) BASIC in middle school. (I'm not counting a very small amount of LISP in college and mastery of HTML 4 which isn't programming.)
Everyone said to get the book Assembly Lines. I got the PDF of the original version.
Hit a glitch almost immediately. After doing CALL -151 to enter the monitor, it says to type F666G to enter the mini-assembler, and then "The prompt should change to an exclamation mark."
It doesn't change to an exclamation mark. It just goes back to the asterisk.
What's happening?
Same behavior in LinApple (Linux Apple II emulator) as on my Platinum.
hmmm, I just tried it in the emulator too while running in ][+ mode and I get the same problem I started digging around, and saw that the MIni-Assembler is only available in the Integer BASIC Roms and not available in the Applesoft ROMs I'm trying to find out how this emulator is configured, and I can't see yet which ROMs are being used But it seems to be Applesoft ROMs So I switched back to Apple ][ mode this you may recall already boots up in Monitor mode So you don't need that BASIC command "CALL -151" You just enter "F666G" right on the command line and it works fine Dan
