### DOS 3.3 System Master boot

![dos330boot](https://mosher.mine.nu/images/computers/apple2/dos330boot.ptif/full/full/0/default.jpg)

Here we've configured an Apple \]\[ plus, with a disk
controller in slot 6, and a language card in slot 0.
We've booted the **DOS 3.3 System Master** disk. It correctly
identifies the machine as an Apple \]\[ plus, and then
loads Integer BASIC into the language card. You can switch
between Applesoft and Integer BASIC by using the `FP` and
`INT` commands.

### DOS 3.1 System Master on Revision 0 motherboard

![dos310rev0](https://mosher.mine.nu/images/computers/apple2/dos310rev0.ptif/full/full/0/default.jpg)

Here we've configured an Apple \]\[ (Integer BASIC ROMs),
with a Revision Zero motherboard, and a disk
controller (with 13-sector ROMs) in slot 6. With a
revision 0 motherboard, when the machine is powered-on,
the CPU doesn't start actually running until you
manually press the **RESET** `F6` button. Also, the old Monitor
ROMs do not boot from the disk drives automatically;
you need to type `C600G` to boot.
We've booted the DOS 3.1 System Master disk and done a
catalog of it. As you can see, with a revision 0 motherboard,
the text is displayed in green and purple, which are also the
only two Hi-Res colors. Later revisions
of the motherboard added a *color burst killer* which is
active during text mode, so the text would be strictly white.
Two more Hi-Res colors, blue and orange, were also added in
later revisions.

### PRODOS 1.1.1 boot

Here we've configured an Apple \]\[ plus with language card
and disk drive. We're booting a PRODOS 1.1.1 disk.

### Bishop's Apple Split

![applesplit](https://mosher.mine.nu/images/computers/apple2/applesplit.ptif/full/full/0/default.jpg)

The October 1982 issue of [Softalk](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softalk)
featured an article by Bob Bishop entitled
[Have an Apple Split](http://rich12345.tripod.com/aiivideo/softalk.html), which describes
in some detail the inner workings of the Apple \]\['s video processing. Listings 1 and 2 from that
article show a short Applesoft program and assembly language subroutine that allow the Apple \]\[
to have a screen split between text and graphics display. To achieve this on the EPPLE \]\[,
copy the following text and paste it into the emulator (at the Applesoft `]` prompt). Since the
EPPLE \]\[ accurately emulates the video scanning and timing of the original Apple \]\[s, this
*split screen* technique works successfully.
The rest of the behavior described in the article (the floating data bus) is also emulated
faithfully by the EPPLE \]\[.

``` visualbasic
CALL -151

300:8D 52 C0 A9 E0 A2 04 CD 51 C0 D0 F9 CA D0 F8 A9
310:A0 A2 04 CD 50 C0 D0 F9 CA D0 F8 8D 51 C0 60

### Mysterious Pink Line

![pinkmystery](https://mosher.mine.nu/images/computers/apple2/pinkmystery.ptif/full/full/0/default.jpg)

Jim Sather's book
[*Understanding the Apple II*](https://archive.org/details/understanding_the_apple_ii/),
which is the primary
reference for the internal design of the EPPLE \]\[ emulator, describes the video
generation process of the Apple \]\[, in great detail, in Chapter 8.
On page 8-21 he shows a simple Applesoft BASIC program (shown below)
that shows an example of one of the hi-res idiosyncrasies on the Apple \]\[.
The program would logically draw three orange lines, but due to the
video cutoff and extension of half-dot shifted pixels, instead the right
line is brown, and there is a *mysterious pink line* (actually magenta)
on the far left of the screen. The EPPLE \]\[ faithfully emulates this behavior.

``` visualbasic
NEW

10 HGR : HCOLOR = 5 : HPLOT 5,159 TO 5,0 TO 279,0 TO 279,159

RUN
```

### Display Aspect Ratio

![aspectratio](https://mosher.mine.nu/images/computers/apple2/aspectratio.ptif/full/full/0/default.jpg)

Jim Sather also describes the aspect ratio of the Apple \]\[ when
displayed on a TV screen (p. 8-28). Software developers would need
to take this into account when trying to draw accurate shapes.
The EPPLE \]\[ emulates the correct aspect ratio.
For example, the following Applesoft BASIC program draws a
rectangle, and a proper square:

``` visualbasic
NEW

10 HGR
15 REM
16 REM   RECTANGLE (VIOLET)
20 A = 36 : B = 136
30 HCOLOR = 2
40 HPLOT A,A TO A,B TO B,B TO B,A TO A,A
45 REM
46 REM   SQUARE (GREEN)
50 A = 25 : B = 147
60 HCOLOR = 1
70 HPLOT A,A TO A,B TO (B*1.19+.5),B TO (B*1.19+.5),A TO A,A

RUN
HOME
```

### Split Screen HIRES/LORES colors

![splitcolorstv](https://mosher.mine.nu/images/computers/apple2/splitcolorstv.ptif/full/full/0/default.jpg)

![splitcolorsmon](https://mosher.mine.nu/images/computers/apple2/splitcolorsmon.ptif/full/full/0/default.jpg)

Jim Sather's book also shows an Applesoft BASIC
program and assembly language subroutine on pages 3-16 and 3-17 (reproduced
below) that produce the display shown here. The screen is split between HIRES
and LORES graphics by a timed loop that manipulates the screen switches.
(Press any key repeatedly to move the position of the split.)

Notice that the Apple \]\[ can actually produce more HIRES colors than are
documented in the standard Apple reference manuals. White, black, green,
purple, blue, and orange are normally documented, but by careful manipulation
of the high-bit (half-dot shift indicator) of the HIRES display byte, many
other colors can be produced. The additional colors match some LORES colors.
Also notice that the text at the bottom of the screen is colored green and
purple while in mixed text/graphics mode. This is because the *color
burst killer* circuit is not active while displaying graphics on the
Apple \]\[ machines.
