Finding a reference to DASM while researching yesterday’s post @jpluimers on Twitter: โ@b0rk @jilles_com Acids vs bases.โ, it felt even more like a trip like memory lane as I had used it in the 1980s on Apple ][ and Apple //e after mainly using EDASM. Lisa and Merlin.
I am glad that it is still alive and kicking with home page at [Wayback/Archive] dasm – macro assembler for 8-bit machines and repository at [Wayback/Archive] dasm-assembler/dasm: Macro assembler with support for several 8-bit microprocessors.
Especially this history section on the home page rang a bell:
- Matthew Dillon startedย dasmย in 1987-1988.
- Olaf “Rhialto” Seibert extendedย dasmย in 1995.
- Andrew “Dr.Boo” Davie maintainedย dasmย in 2003-2008.
- Peter Frรถhlich maintainedย dasmย in 2008-2015.
- In 2019, theย dasmย source code and releases were moved toย GitHub.

I need to check out which ROM my Apple //e and //c have as per [Wayback/Archive] Single Step in Monitor | Applefritter comment by [Wayback/Archive] jeffmazur | Applefritter:
Depends upon which machine and ROM version you have.
The original Apple II monitor does have an S command to single step code in the Monitor. That was removed however to add other features and was not restored until ROM00 of the //c. There are however various 3rd-party ROM images that also have the Step and Trace commands, for example ROMeX and ROM4X, APPLEII.EDM, etc.
There are also hardware boards available to do this as well

The mini micro classic Apple emulators related post last week became way too big, so here is the classic Apple 2/Macintosh hardware upgrade part follow-up I announced in Some notes on mini/micro Apple //e emulators.
Last week, I mentioned [Wayback/Archive] ARC Javmaster – YouTube. Let’s continue from there for an even bigger post (:
Javmaster actually has a shop at [Wayback/Archive] Welcome to the 8-bit stuff store – 8 bit stuff cool retro computer 3D gadgets and geekery with a lot of interesting (mainly Apple ][ era related) retro things like:

I hope someone has also archived all these in the Internet Archive as this is a great collection of historic material: [WaybackSave/Archive] GitHub – gingerbeardman/apple-human-interface-guidelines: Apple Human Interface Guidelines, et al.
If you have more of them: add them via a pull-request.

A client that went belly up in the early 1990s had all these and similar books. In retrospect, I though have found a way to obtain them but back then I didn’t value the uniqueness of them enough and didn’t have the storage space for it (I lived in a 30mยฒ apartment).

Last year, #Appril][ got rebranded into #AprilApples, so I wish you a happy retro-month filled with April Apples!
[Wayback/Archive] Welcome to #AprilApples! Apple II Computer event celebrated in the month of April
Consider using theย [Wayback/Archive] #AprilApples Style Guide with logon on the right, plus Garamond and/or Motter Tektura typeface when possible to really give tribute to the Apple ][ era.
Last year, a big surprise was that Apple Computer put a PDF version of the famous Apple Pascal Poster on the Internet Archive.
So today is a great day to give that more traction and link to it:
A year before, during April][, a remake of that poster got done on AppleFritter:ย

Retro computing is wildly popular, and with the rise of low cost single-board computers (SBCs for short), both Apple //e and ][+ emulators plus extension cards have proliferated,ย based on Raspberry Pi (or even their RP2040 microcontroller based Pico), ESP32 or predecessor ESP8266 microcontrollers and others.
Some links for my archive:
