apple2js VS AppleWin

Okay here's the steps. Took me 40 years to remember how to do this!

0) Go to archive.org here

https://archive.org/download/riag_005_Volume_042_-_Apple_Sof...

1) Save the file "Volume_042_Apple_Software_Bank_5.dsk" locally

2) Run the Apple ][ emulator from here. This will also load the DOS 3.3 disk with Integer BASIC on it:

3) For disk 2, press the folder button, choose the "Local Saves", then load the .dsk file.

4) Then do these commands:

INT

I started with hardware like this. No activation key, no network.

Totally true! There are a few places you can play it, but this one wins all the style points: https://www.scullinsteel.com/apple2/

Here’s an emulator I found.

I use this emulator. Use the ADD TO HOMESCREEN function and it formats just like an app and not a webpage!

AppleWin debugger dev here. Please raise a feature request and I'll add it to my backlog of debugger features.

I added Saturn LC support a few years back that has the gory details about the I/O bank switching which extended the 16KB LC. IIRC I used the Saturn System Disk to test that the LC was working according to the specs.

I occasionally look for AppleWin feedback/questions but the main place us devs hang out is on Usenet's comp.emulators.apple2 and on GitHub but note that our GitHub and UseNet is for bugs/feedback and not help with specific Apple 2 software. That's what comp.sys.apple2 is for.

Understood. We've been tracking down the odd LSS (Logic State Sequencer) bugs of the drive controller in AppleWin. You might be able to reach out to Tom if you have questions. Better yet would be to hit up usenet c.s.a2 to post questions there.

I've created Issue #1079 so you can track this.

The least expensive way to try things out is, of course, via emulation, and there's very active work and archiving being done for early 8-bit microcomputers such as Apple II, Commodore 64, TRS-80 and Atari machines. Apple emulators, such as Virtual ][ (http://virtualii.com) and AppleWin (https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin) at least, let you emulate not only the Apple II but CP/M as well. There's old hardware out there as well, with all the problems associated with it.

For other old systems, such as the PDPs, Vaxen and others, there's simh (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ and https://github.com/simh/simh).

https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin may be a friendlier place to start.
