The Enhanced Apple IIe has the mini-assembler
built-in. From the monitor,
type an exclamation point and press RETURN. I am not sure about the IIc's
or IIgs's, but I would guess they support it the same way.
If you boot a DOS 3.3 System Master, it loads the
language card with
Integer BASIC and the rest, including the mini-assembler.
I have some information about the Apple II ROMS,
including the
mini-assembler source code, at
http://people.delphi.com/paulrsm/6502/6502.htm
Shure about that ?
The Apple ][ had a dissassembler and mini assembler in it's
ROMs, while starting with the ][+, or to be more correct,
with introduction of the Autostart ROM/Applesoft ROM the
mini assembler had been removed (together with the Sweet16
interpreter, some Monitor commands and some other usefull
subroutines.
I still remember that one of my first long session on my brand
new A][+ in 1979 was to key in the mini assembler from the ROM
listings and modify it to run in memory (address changes) ...
It took me almost two days without sleep - and soon threafter
I got a small loan to buy two disk drives - working from cassette
did work fine on a KIM with quite small programms, but on the
Apple with huge, one, two or sometimes 3 KILOBYTE programmes
was a different task :))
