Every so often, a discussion of Tiny BASIC appears
around here. I
was curious about one of the very first versions of Tiny BASIC, the
8080 implementation done by Whipple and Arnold, as documented in
the Vol. 1 No. 1 (Jan 1976) issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal (of Tiny
BASIC Calisthenics and Orthodontia)
This issue contains an octal listing of a Tiny BASIC interpreter
for the 8080, and I couldn't find this version available for
download anywhere. So... I typed it in, and it works!
I documented my work, which is available at
http://oss.readytalk.com/tb/tinybasic.tar.gz
Hey Eric, this is great stuff, thanks for making it available!
I'm thinking that I would like to put together a very small Z80-based
SBC just for this interpreter. Do you know if this code is ROMable?
