Apple 2 Soft Switch

Inspired by Anthony's program over in c.s.a2 here is a Applesoft BASIC program to display a memory map and limited soft switches.

Screenshot Desc Screenshot Addr

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)

Future Versions?

Removing the RW columns gives us a little more space on the right. Here is a mock-up:

History

Ver 4

  • Version number now shown in top left
  • Fixed 80STORE=1 display for HGR1 and TEXT1
  • Removed most odd addresses in the main 48 KB as they were cluttering up the display too much.
