### A note about Apple II
## Apple II
Apple II variants other than II+/IIe/Enhanced IIe are untested;
this includes the original II, IIc and IIc+, but also later compatible computers (Apple III and IIgs).
They may or may not work.
### Model support
The current platform configuration for the Apple II targets the original Apple II with an NMOS processor.
Simple programs have been tested on the Apple II, II+, IIe and enhanced IIe. The IIc, IIc+ are untested.
The IIgs may work in compatibility mode, but this is untested. The Apple III is untested.
### Running your program
The compiler output is a raw machine code file, which then has to be put on a disk.
You can do it using [CiderPress](http://a2ciderpress.com/),
@ -13,6 +17,12 @@ or some other tool.
The file has to be loaded from $0C00. An example how to put such a file onto a disk using AppleCommander:
java -jar AppleCommander-1.3.5.jar -p disk_image.dsk FILENAME B 0xc00 < compiler_output.a2
java -jar AppleCommander.jar -p disk_image.dsk FILENAME B 0xc00 < compiler_output.a2
When you have placed your file on disk, boot the disk and enter this at the BASIC prompt:
] BRUN FILENAME
This has been successfully tested under DOS 3.3 and [ProDOS 2.4](https://prodos8.com/), on an Apple II+ and Apple IIe.
Creating a bootable disk is beyond the scope of this document.
