I don't think Merlin 8 will run on a 64k Apple II+ - older versions of
Merlin will though... Personally I do all my work on a (platinum) IIe
as I find the keyboard pleasant to use - the  other keyboards frustrate
me these days

There's always the DOS (or ProDOS) Toolkit, which where the 'official'
Apple assemblers. Combined with AppleWriter as a full screen editor
they're pretty good, especially the ProDOS edition.
