Features

  • Detects Apple ][, ][+, //e, //e+, //c, //c+
    • Pretty-print model instead of generic II (bloats the code slightly but worth it.)
  • Detects 48K/64K/128K
  • System information in all uppercase (for Apple ][ without lowercase)
  • Cleaned up fugly logo by Albert Lai
    • Logo is now 70 chars wide
    • Logo is bit packed 2 bits/char; expands 70 chars * 4 px = 280 px
    • Logo takes up 70*12*2/8 = 210 bytes compared to 79*12 = 948 bytes
    • X is now symmetrical
    • Fixed L,i,n kerning
    • Fixed x Penguin kerning
    • Fixed L to fit
    • Chopped off 2 columns of penguin to fit 70 chars

See: ascii2hgr2bit.c for packing ASCII to 2 bits/char. NOTE: PackedLen isn't needed if full 40 bytes HGR width is unpacked to.

Inspired from non-optimized version. Size: 1,573 ($625) bytes

Note: Lowercase doesn't display properly on ][.
