Memory map of the Apple II ROMs

$F800-$FFFF | Monitor. Handles screen I/O and keyboard input. Also has a |
monitor.asm | disassembler, memory dump, memory move, memory compare, step and trace |
functions, lo-res graphics routines, multiply and divide routines, and | |
more. This monitor has the cleanest code of all the Apple II | |
monitors. Every one after this had to patch the monitor to add | |
functions while still remaining (mostly) compatible. Complete source | |
code is in the manual. | |
$F689-F7FC | Sweet-16 interpreter. Sweet-16 code has been benchmarked to be about |
sweet16.asm | half the size of pure 6502 code but 5-8 times slower. The renumber |
routine in the Programmer's Aid #1 is written in Sweet-16, where small | |
size was much more important than speed. Complete source code is in | |
the manual. | |
$F500-F63C | Mini-assembler. This lets you type in assembly code, one line at a |
$F666-F668 | time, and it will assemble the proper bytes. No labels or equates are |
miniasm.asm | supported–it is a MINI assembler. Complete source code is in the |
manual. | |
$F425-F4FB | Floating point routines. Woz's first plans for his 6502 BASIC included |
$F63D-F65D | floating point, but he abandoned them when he realized he could finish |
fp.asm | faster by going integer only. He put these routines in the ROMs but |
they are not called from anywhere. Complete source code is in the | |
manual. | |
$E000-F424 | Integer BASIC by Woz (Steve Wozniak, creator of the Apple II). "That |
intbasic.asm | BASIC, which we shipped with the first Apple II's, was never |
assembled–ever. There was one handwritten copy, all handwritten, all | |
hand assembled." Woz, October 1984. | |
$D800-DFFF | Empty ROM socket. There was at least one third party ROM add-on. |
$D000-D7FF | Programmer's Aid #1–missing from the original Apple II, this is a ROM |
add-on Apple sold that contains Integer BASIC utilities such as | |
high-resolution graphics support, renumber, append, tape verify, | |
music, and a RAM test. Complete source code is in the manual. |
