Re: Another cassette: Apple-80 (at least, it is real)



Excellent! Glad you got that, I agonized over that auction for a while, with the idea to do exactly what you've done (but you've got much more experience in how to do it right). In the end, I didn't join the fight, so I didn't raise the price. I did dig around the web a bit at the time, though:

There's a little Infoworld review of it here:

It cost $17 dollars in 1980

Thanks for making it available, I'm interested to try it out.

Yep, it is real, for once. Readable, digitized and now available at http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/, my latest acquisition: Apple-80, an 8080 simulator for the Apple II.

Published by Sybex, developed by Dann McCreary (remember, the author or Disk-o-tape). I had a discussion with him about his software in October after my purchase, you will also find his interesting comment about the software and the "ugly" manual.

I like when those great minds turn back and tell us, the followers, how hard/interesting/fun that period was. Thank you, Dann!

nb. for non-WAV users, the ciderpress/cassettes archives are contain the 8080 simulator (in the Sybex folder, no kidding)

ps. this is not a hoax, pfeeeewwww
