I last posted six years ago today. I was having trouble with my working Apple //c. It turned out I was having media problems with the diskettes.
Since then I have attached my Floppy EMU and use it as a hard disk emulator on the smartport. It is an older model of the Floppy EMU with the SD card rather than the newer micro SD cards used on the newer Floppy EMU. This is setting right on my desk using a 20″ Dell monitor, next to the 28″ monitor my more modern gaming computer uses.
I still haven’t gotten a real working relationship with assembly, through no fault of Assembly Lines. It is a great book, but life intrudes sometimes and my attention was drawn elsewhere.
One of the nice things about these older computers is you can switch a disk and reboot the computer for a totally different setup. This is true with the Floppy EMU as well. I have three SD cards that I can switch around and reboot into a different setup. One has a Total Replay image on it for a great selection of games, one has Pitch Dark text adventures and my own disk image containing an assortment of programs including ProDOS and utilities, Merlin, Kyan Pascal, ZBasic, some terminal programs and ADTPro.
