Re: Update: Apple Game Server



You see, when you type IN#2 you are telling the firmware to accept
input from the keyboard and the serial port.  So when the PC sends data
it is equvilant to you typing *really fast*.  ;-)

So, in the spirit of entering programs from nibble magazines, the
driver init routine types "call-151" to go to the monitor and then
types the assembled machine code the same way you would type it
yourself.  Line by line, etc.  (if you look in the /lib/data directory
you can see init.txt which sets the SSC to 115.2k baaud and driver.txt
which starts the driver)

Once that's all done, it then types "300g" (where the code at 300 calls
the driver routine).  Now the driver is running and the PC can stream
data more efficiently and directly to your apple.  The rest is fun and
games. ;-)
