Before net.micro.apple was created, there was net.micro.

Here is the earliest post I could find which is about the Apple, from 1982:

	I am interested in writing a terminal program in Pascal for my Apple.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to access (from Pascal) the registers
on
the modem interface card? I need to be able to set options and check
for input, and I would prefer not to have to deal with assembler.
The I/O slots have their own memory space, but I don't see how to tell my
program where to look for the different registers.
