Now we're talking! I didn't know about the closed apple self test. I
don't even think I knew about that as a kid!

It reports: "*RAM ZP 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0". Anyone know what specifically
that means or where I can look that up? A google search on "apple ii"
"ram zp" didn't turn up anything.

Also, not sure where to find this Call-A.P.P.L.E. disk. Didn't find it
on asimov other than in the pascal programming directory (non-bootable
disk, so I'm assuming they're source code disks).

Thanks guys! Enjoying the discussion! :)
