When Applesoft was introduced, it used up all of the ROM space (except

Apple Pascal "Basics" disk, and later also with the DOS 3.3 Master Disk.


Fortunately, the mini-assembler survives in the Applesoft ROMs--it was
Step and Trace that were sacrificed.  And the Programmer's Aid hi-res
routines were integrated into Applesoft.



Sorry, but the mini-assembler did NOT survive in the Applesoft ROM's.
But the monitor's disassembler survived.


Right you are--I stand corrected.

When I got my ][+, I went back to the Computerland the next day and
relocated the mini-assembler and downloaded it to cassette, so you'd
think I would remember that.  ;-)

I guess I used it so much from the beginning that I just thought of
it as being in ROM!
