When working on MACHID I learned a lot. I remembered a little. I never wrote any programs that looked at system information. That provided a little challenge. Anybody who actually does this stuff, can look at my code and see…

MACHID, Finished
I cleaned up the ZBasic and Applesoft versions of MACHID. I put them onto the disk image MACHID.DSK and uploaded it. The disk image is a boot disk. I’ve added the driver for the no slot clock which will work…

MACHID, Continued
While writing the MACHID program, that sidetracked me from mapper, I learned a bit. The MACHID byte has some information on the model of the computer, but not all is very specific. It will identify the amount of memory the…

Computers, Oldest and Not so Old
I was thinking back to when I first got my Apple //c. I had the whole system set up on a card table in the corner of my one bedroom apartment. At that time I had an Apple //c, a…

Strangely enough, that is the title of a book and a one liner for the Commodore 64. Apparently it prints a maze pattern as shown on the book’s cover. I’ve never read the book and probably never will. I was…
Simple Startup, Part 1A
While working on yesterdays program and post I found a need to include a listing. This brings up two problems. My printer is among the missing, as I moved a few years ago and it got separated from my Apple…
Simple Startup, Part 1
When using my /PRODOSWRITER disk, I found it a little tedious to startup either AppleWorks or the System Utilities programs. The path to start them is twenty one characters long. This is not much but in this day and age…
Hamurabi, Pseudo Coding, Part Two
The first thing we need to do is make a small correction to the previous post on pseudo coding this project. I reversed the order of the land steps and they should be: Handle land purchase, if any. Handle land…
