Yet another correction: The need for the intbasic card means that the feature was not built into the ROM itself. The intbasic firmware card (the original ][ firmware) has the miniassembler. The ][+ and //e do not have it by default (you either buy an intbasic firmware card or a 16k ram expansion and load the intbasic firmware into it). The //c and later machines do have it. I think (but am not sure) that the enhanced //e has it as well. There you have it. -- Dave Whitney Computer Science MIT 1990 | I wrote Z-Link and BinSCII. Send me bug dcw@lcs.mit.edu | reports.
