Nibble Disassembly Lines : Volume 2

Nibble Disassembly Lines: Volume 2 is a compendium of all of the Apple II ProDOS "Disassembly Lines" articles that appeared in Mike Harvey's Nibble magazine between 1984 and 1990. Written by Sandy Mossberg, a medical doctor, avid reader, science fiction fan, bird watcher, photographer and especially a self-taught programmer who had one of the longest-running columns in Nibble. If you are an Assembly Language programmer who wants a greater understanding of some tricks of programming the Apple II computer, then this is the book for you. Disassembly Lines brings these detailed and knowledgeable articles together into a two volume set. Volume 2 Highlights: - 26 articles covering the internals of ProDOS, the AppleMouse II, auxiliary RAM, the Apple II floppy disk system, and related topics. - Restoring deleted ProDOS files, and creating designer directories using specially-written programs. - How BASIC.SYSTEM accesses the ProDOS Machine Language Interface (MLI) and how you can put it to use in your own programs. - A new ProDOS command (STRIP) that makes traversing subdirectories easier and faster. - Source code (compatible with Merlin assembler) and ready-to-run assembled binaries are included on the accompanying floppy disk images.
