drastic cases, an Apple II reboot may be necessary. The Apple II Pi will re-sync and you may continue

on. Run as:

a2term [IP addr]

Development Tools:

Apple II Pi really shines as a development environment for the Apple II. To aid in the rapid

development process, these tools were created to test binaries created in the Pi's native environment on

the actual Apple II.

bload:

bload will read a file from the Linux filesystem and copy it into the Apple II memory at the address

specified. Apple II Pi incorporated a relatively fast communications channel so this operation is about

as fast as reading from the floppy. Run as:

bload <filename> <address> [IP addr]

Hexadecimal addresses are entered in '0x' format otherwise decimal addresses are assumed.

brun:

Like bload, brun will load the binary file but will also jump to the loading address. Run as:

brun <filename> <address> [IP addr]

Floppy Disk Image Tools:

Getting floppy disk image files to and from actual floppy drives has been greatly simplified with the

wonderful tools like ADTPro. For most sophisticated image transfer applications, use something lie

ADTPro. However, when something cheap, quick, and dirty will suffice, these two tools can make fast

work of reading or writing disk images. Both of these tools only work on a 5¼ floppy drive in drive 1

of slot 6. The only image format they support is the ProDOS order: .PO

dskread:

dskread will read the disk in the floppy drive and create a disk image using the volume name on the

floppy for the filename. If the disk volume is HELLO, HELLO.PO is the name of the resulting disk

image file. Run as:

dskread [IP addr]

dskwrite:

Simple, just like dskread. Run as:

dskwrite <filename> [IP addr]

It will prompt you to overwrite the current volume name. 'Y' or 'y' will proceed and the floppy will be

written.
