+This is an attempt to disassembly the ROM and installation tools for a
+First Class Peripherals Sider hard drive made for an Apple II and the
+ROM on the Xebec SASI card that was included with the hard drive.
+
+I'm working on trying to use the SASI card with a scsi2sd and it
+doesn't quite work so in order to try to figure out why the tools
+don't like the scsi2sd I decided to disassemble them. The SASI card
+contains no controller and the 6502 on the Apple II is used to bit
+bang all I/O on the data and control lines. Hopefully understanding
+how the software works on the Apple II will make it possible to get
+the scsi2sd card completely working.
