The first assembler I used on the Apple II was actually tape based. I break out in hives every time I remember that. As the Apple II grew, so did the languages that were available for it. First, better assemblers appeared, starting…

Yet the labels produced from AppleWorks’ Database aren’t really worth the effort for one or two…

(The external devices can either be controlled by the Apple IIe. Or the lie can gather and analyze data generated by the device.)…
