Apparently I lied. In the last step of yesterday’s post I said you could simply right click on the wine icon on the launcher and lock it to the launcher. You can, but that only locks wine and not AppleWin. …

AppleWin on Ubuntu
I’ve read notes here and there about running an Apple II emulator on a Linux machine several times over the last few years. I’ve been doing it for several months on my second laptop without any problems. I thought I…
MACHID, Follow-up and ZBasic
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, 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…

MACHID
In the past, when I was writing programs, I always wrote for my machine, the Apple //c. I knew what was there and could write for it. While working on Mapper, I planned to use the 80 column card. But this…
Inform? No.

So, still thinking about games, I went back online to the place I should have started, Asimov. They had all the games on my list. Several had both the 140K and 800k disk images, unfortunately the only version of Shogun…
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
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…
A Strange Connection
I got to thinking today about something I did the other day. When I created the simple startup program for my /PRODOSWRITER disk, I wrote the original version on my laptop using AppleWin. When it was done I used ZLink…
Using a Mini Harddrive
If you have a 800K 3 1/2″ disk drive on your Apple II, you have a mini harddrive. The Apple II is best known for 140K 5 1/4″ diskette drives, although it could be used without one by using a cassette tape…
