I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not. I've downloaded the
3d demo and it runs fine on the Apple II emulators I have on my Mac.
But when I transfer it to an actual disk and try to run it on my IIe
it crashes in machine language. Any ideas?
You are probably referring to the Monitor.. it should show:
ABCD- A=00 X=00 Y=00 p = 00 s = 00
what address is it breaking on? (ABCD in above example)
Does your IIe run other software without a problem?
What cards does it have installed?
What method did you use to get the software on the
disk?
can you CATALOG this disk?

David and Rich,
I was able to get the demo up and running finally, but I had to boot
the computer with another DOS disk first. If I try to boot the
raycasting demo disk itself it still dumps me into the monitor. Here
is what I've seen on the screen:
9E0E- A=A4 X=A8 Y=A4 P=B5 S=FB
That was the last time I tried booting it directly this morning. Last
night this is what I got:
0033- A=00 X=B8 Y=00 P=73 S=FF
and I got a different one this morning when I firs tried it:
9E0B- A=FD X=38 Y=1B P=30 S=FC
and to make it even more interesting one time it simply stopped with
"Apple II" as the only thing on the screen.
As to what cards are in the computer, there's the 80 column/64k card
in it's dedicated slot, slot 1 is the SSC, slot 4 has a mouse card and
slot 6 the Disk Drive controller. I was able to catalog the disk,
after I booted the II with another DOS disk. Then I loaded the demo
program, listed it (it was completely readable) and then ran it, It's
currently up on the IIe screen as I type this.
I use ADTPro, with a USB to Serial adapter, one similar to the Lindy
adapter, to transfer disk images from my Mac Mini to the IIe. Other
programs I've transferred run fine.
It took me a while to get it running but I really like it and hope
that you, David, do use this as a basis for a new game for the II.
