@ -8,7 +8,10 @@ The project is based on the knowing of internal structure of UniDisk 3.5 drive,
5) Due to UniDisk, less the I/O Disk routine in its ROM, is a bare metal, i decide to implement the Floating Point routine by using WOZ original routine, but I was need to write the converter program from WOZ routine to Applesoft routine. This allow me to execute FP operations;
6) Use the UniDisk FP operations to execute Graphics calculations.
This project required a great deal of effort due to use only the real Apple IIc machine to coding in 'Merlin' Assembler and 'Applesoft' Basic, because no Apple II simulator is able to emulate UniDisk Drive, at now.
This project required a great deal of effort due to use only the real Apple IIc machine to coding in 'Merlin' Assembler and 'Applesoft' Basic and then execute the code, because no Apple II simulator is able to emulate UniDisk 3.5 Drive, at now.
The PC/MAC next to the Apple II machine, connected by serial port, allows you to use different special software to compile, manage disks image and then send to Apple II by serial port. A custom all-in-one modern IDE can be create to automete all this building process, but there is still no software that can simulate the UNIDISK 3.5 drive.
This project allow this target:
* Scan, identify, command and dump memory of UniDisk 3.5
