# A3Driverutil
Python program to convert o65 relocatable binary files for use as Apple /// drivers, plus support for adding/updating and removing drivers from the sos.driver file.
The normal procedure for assembling Apple /// drivers is to load the assembler source file into either an emulator or real Apple II or /// computer and use the Pascal assembler to assemble and create the required relocatable PCD object file that the Apple /// System Utilities SCP accepts. I bumped into the o65 relocatable binary format while looking around for the internet and then notices that the ca65 assembler includes support for this. I wondered if this could be used and converted for use in driver development.

The spec for the o65 file is available here, its uses are also listed on this page.

I've been trying to learn python more, so this seemed like a good excuse to delve into it a bit more. The resultant program has expanded on the original idea quite a bit, and its added a bit of scp functionality to it, eg list, add, delete, update and extract drivers from a SOS.DRIVER file.
