Apple III Pascal may be the simplest to convert but
there is very little documentation on the Apple III
on the web (memory maps, SOS programming, etc).
Since Apple IIIs are scarce, an emulator may be
needed to perform the conversion.

The ProDOS version of Quicken is written in a p-code
version of Pascal.  This Pascal was produced by
SofTech Microsystems.  ProDOS Quicken puts the p-code
interpretor in the auxiliary memory language card
area which is reserved by ProDOS but usually no code
resides there.

See a version history of the UCSD p-system at

More information about the UCSD p-system is at

Another option is Randy Hyde's Lazer Pascal.  This
worked in DOS 3.3 but was written in assembly language.
I have a pair of disk images I downloaded from the
web, but I have no manual and have been unable to
compile a program with it.  For more information see
http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~rhyde/lazerpas.htm

Again, Kyan Pascal is already available for ProDOS.
