Nibble – Disassembly Lines: Volume 1 is a compendium of all of the Apple II DOS 3.3 “Disassembly Lines” articles that appeared in Mike Harvey’s Nibble magazine as well as Call-A.P.P.L.E. magazine during the 1980s. Written by Sandy Mossberg, a medical doctor, avid reader, science fiction fan, bird watcher, photographer and especially a self-taught programmer who had one of the longest-running columns in Nibble.
