Apple I software questions

I am trying to find all the software for the Apple I that is original to the period. The designators below are from the Apple's Suggested Retail Price List April 1977.

A1T002X "Mastermind": is this the same as "A Number Game for the 6502" by Steve Wozniak, Dr. Dobbs Journal, Volume 1, Number 8, page 253?

A1T003X "Lunar Lander": applefritter > Apple I Owners Club > Games: is this the same as the apple version?

A1T004X "Blackjack": applefritter > Apple I Owners Club > Games: is this the same as the apple version? screenshot is same as Kilobaud magazine 1977 Feb p34.

A1T005X "Hamurabi": applefritter > Apple I Owners Club > Games: is this the same as the apple version?

A1T006X "Mini-Startrek": is this the same as "Apple Star-Trek", Interface Age Magazine, May 1977, p132. And did apple use LOMEM=(768)?

A1T007X "16K-Startrek": has this been preserved some place?

A1T008X "Dis-Assembler": is this the same version as "A 6502 Disassembler from Apple by Steve Wozniak & Allen Baum", Dr. Dobbs Journal, Volume 1, Number 8, page 22

A1T009X "Extended Monitor": has this been preserved some place?

Game of Life: applefritter > Apple I Owners Club > Games: is this the Apple version they used as a demo? ref Kilobaud Magazine Jan 1977 p17.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there any other software in the 1977-1979 timeframe published specifically for the Apple I? (not Compute or other generic BASIC programs). Programs that I have seen:

Interface Age, 1977 May p128: LOGAN... A Logic Circuit Analysis Program by Robert J. Bishop

Interface Age, 1977 Oct p146: SEARCH ROUTINE FOR THE 6502 DISASSEMBLER by Arthur L. Shawlow (for use with the 6502 Disassembler published in Sep 76 issue p14)

Byte Magazine, 1978 Oct p135: Programming Quickies: Maze by Robert J. Bishop

73 Magazine, 1978 Feb p78: Fiendish New QUBIC Program by Robert J. Bishop

Kilobaud Magazine, 1978 Feb p80: Teaching Preschoolers Letter Discrimination by John Eric Victor

Re: Apple I software questions

I have Bob Bishop's maze program.
I've had it for some time and just pulled it off
and old retired hard disk.
I'm listing it here, unaltered, incase it is not
in general circulation.

Laurie

Re: Apple I software questions

Do you want the software code or WAV files for these?

Re: Apple I software questions

Software code is preferable. I am assuming that the only files that I don't have are 16K Star Trek and Extended Monitor. btw, I have tested the QUBIC program and it works but it took me 5 games before I could beat it. Is there a way for me to submit it to include in your downloads?

Re: Apple I software questions

Spoke too soon. If .wav is from copy of original Apple tape or made from original Apple I, then the wav is preferable -- but not if made from an emulator.

Re: Apple I software questions

Well I'm not sure where most of my wav files came from. I suppose I could always load them into an Apple-1 or Mimeo and make new wav files using an iRig and my iPhone.

or I can simply send you a zip file of all the files I currently have...

How desperate are you for this. If I have to re-record them off of real hardware it may take me a week to get to it.

Cheers,
Corey

Re: Apple I software questions

No need to re-record them. But if you include the softcopy then that would help. I am most interested in verifying the software came from Apple and discovering any other that was developed in that era.

Thanks for your help,
Ken

Re: Apple I software questions

PM me your email and I'll send you some files...

I have an original cassettes of Dis-Assembler and extended monitor, though I have never actually loaded them from the cassettes only wav files I got from someone. Maybe I'll try that to see what it is....

As for the Star Trek's, they were done by Wendell Sander. To run his 16k version, you needed to expand your Apple-1 to 20k.

The lunar lander you see floating around on the internet could be one of two versions, it could be the original or the one I did a few years back to show Ascii graphics. Mine is not original, I used Open Emulator to write it and then moved to hardware when it worked. This was done more for convenience since my macbook was on my desk and I could more easily use it.

Cheers,
Corey

Re: Apple I software questions

both the disassembler and the extended monitor look like early versions of the monitor/disassembler software that was originally shipped in ROM on the Apple II.

Re: Apple I software questions

Corey was a great help in answering my questions and thanks Mike for the info about the Extended Monitor program - I'll try to figure out the commands to ensure that it works correctly in the Apple-1.

I want to add the type-in software that I found to the applefritter downloads section but don't know how, so I will do so here just as Laurieboshell2004 did so above.

Re: Apple I software questions

Finally getting around to doing some updates to the 'Ultimate A1 collection'

One quick question.
In the QUBIC part b, what should this line be?:

4240 IF VV4 THEN 4350

I'm guessing it should read:

4240 IF V=4 THEN 4350

Cheers

Don't know why cut & paste didn't work there.

Re: Apple I software questions

Previews OK before I post it then changes it. Doesn't like the symbols for less than or greater than I guess. Also line 4250 doesn't show.

Line 4240 should read IF V (insert "less than" symbol here) V4 THEN 4400
Line 4250 should read IF V (insert "greater than" symbol here) V4 THEN 4350

Let me know if there are any other typos - I have playtested it and saved it to my emulated CFFA1. Proof of play is here

Re: Apple I software questions

that would be great to make a website page with all the apple 1 programs archived in one place
will you share all the programs you find ?
