Books _APPLE Machine Language for Beginners_, by Richard Mansfield. This book was published about 1985, but you can get it from your local library or through inter-library loan. This book contains the assembly source for the LADS assembler. It also contains the hex for the machine code for the assembler that you can type in. It has a small program that will checksum each line of the hex, so you can have confidence that you typed it right. This book has a description of all the 6502 instructions and addressing modes. It also has some beginner assembly information, like how to write multi-byte arithmetic routines. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Charles and Francis Richmond | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
