# Apple 2 Soft Switch
2017-11-09 19:54:33 +00:00
Inspired by Anthony's program over in [c.s.a2](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.sys.apple2/knWRdHp9ZTc/TWV5ZkyTCQAJ) here is a Applesoft BASIC program to display a memory map and limited soft switches.

# Commands
* ESC = exit
* SPC = toggle status lines to show description / soft-switch addresss
NOTE: The IO soft switch address don't exactly match the hardware switches due to:
a) some are contiguous
b) some require multiple locations to activate (i.e. TEXT/GR and Lo-Res/Hi-Res)
