Hello my patrons! So I counted 13 of these banker's boxes in my house so after this box, there are still 12 more! That's a lot of boxes and a lot of stuff to go through, but certainly a lot of treasures! I made myself a new year's resolution that I needed to sort through all these boxes and at this rate I won't make it!

So, as patrons, I'd love some feedback if it's worth going through them all on camera or should I just go through them on my own and perhaps pick out some interesting items from each and consolidate them to a video or two?

This box ended up being so full of stuff I had to leave it for a part 2 to do any testing of the stuff uncovered in this video. There just isn't much I can do about this as each of these boxes is filled to the brim with interesting stuff.

Please also let me know after watching this if there is anything specific you feel I should focus on with a more in-depth video. It doesn't have to be now, I can always stash things away for a future date but I'd like to know what people are specifically interested in seeing more about.

I haven't even started on Part 2 yet -- so I'll get started on it soon, perhaps tonight!

Thanks for all the support!

It's April and what happened to my new year's resolution? (Random box #2)

It's time for another box of random stuff! I have a lot of these boxes, so I'm going to need to start to pick up the pace with the videos digging into them. Please see the chapter marks to jump to sections you might find interesting. Part 1: This part!

Yes, there were BASIC compilers for the Apple II. The first was TASC (The Applesoft Compiler) which was published by Microsoft in 1981. That version made a lot of assumptions about the addresses of routines in the //+ ROM and produced code that wouldn't run on the //e and later machines. I believe Microsoft later produced a separate version for the //e and //c. The Einstein Compiler came a little later and was supposed to produce better code than TASC, but I don't really know anything about it. Beagle Compiler was a good option for later systems running ProDOS, but if I remember correctly that one compiled to an interpreted byte code rather than actual machine code. Another option was ZBasic, which began on the TRS-80 in 1979 but later became a cross-platform BASIC compiler that was available for all the major systems of the mid-80s. It eventually became FutureBasic for the Mac. (And apparently is still maintained today for modern Macs! Wow!) The Apple IIGS had the TML BASIC compiler. It was based on the variety of BASIC used by Apple's abandoned (only released as a beta) GS BASIC interpreter. (Not to be confused with GSoft BASIC, which was the much later (1998!) BASIC interpreter from Byte Works.) Oh, and the Byte Works also made ORCA/Integer BASIC but that was a toy compiler meant to teach people how to write compilers (it came with the full source code) rather than a serious product. (It would compile Integer BASIC programs into GS/OS executables, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to do such a thing.) Oh, and there's also Micol Advanced BASIC, which had separate 8-bit (//e & //c) and 16-bit (IIGS) versions. It was a compiled BASIC based on Applesoft with a bunch of extensions. And I'm sure I'm probably forgetting a few others.

I enjoy the sections most where you try out the hardware and try to get it working
