An Apple ][ - it's in ratty shape but I got it for
$7 with some
periphs. I need to clean it up. This one seems to have auto-start
integer basic ROMs ... Also, it is missing the D8 ROM but seems to
work fine, Integer BASIC and all. Anyone know anything about this?
That's normal for an Integer BASIC Apple II, actually. Integer
BASIC isn't big enough to require the $Dxxx address space, so
those sockets were left empty for add-on ROMs. The chip in the
D0 socket is probably the "Programmer's Aid" chip, which contained
a collection of subroutines for assembly language programming.
And the cool find of the day: get this, an Epson PX-8
laptop!
Neat! Yes, it runs CP/M and has WordStar.
