BASIC Programs

The following software is in text format and can by typed in or easily downloaded using a serial keyboard adapter once Basic is loaded and running.

STAR TREK

Bob Bishop - published in "Interface Age", May 1977 http://www.dunnington.u-net.com/public/startrek/AppleStarTrek

Wendell Sander has a Star Trek version in audio format on his site - I haven't checked to see if this is a different port.

Microchess

This is an AIFF version of the Apple monitor format file that can be found on applefritter.com.
Microchess.aiff
To load
0300.0BC7R
Last bytes
0F 44
To run
300R

It took me a bit of debugging using Virtual II's inspector and a Wozanium ROM image to figure out the commands.
G - new Game
CR(carriage return) - tells computer to move (other commands do not requite a carriage return)
R - Reverse sides
yxyxM = Move piece from position y,x to position y,x - computer confirms by printing proposed move
L - resign and start over
Q - Quit and return to monitor
P - Print current board

Type G to start a new game, once it gives you the checkmate message.

The game basically works, but it's not without user interface and other quirks - like it apparently doesn't know when it has won.

AIFF Sound Files

AIFF sound files can be loaded into your Apple 1 with an iPod and an Apple Cassette Interface

Command line to AIFF converter

I have developed an Apple command line format to AIFF converter. If you have an Apple 1 program in this Apple command format and an Apple Cassette Interface, you can load it into your Apple 1 using 3 easy steps.

convert it to AIFF
move it to your iPod
download it to your Apple 1 from your iPod using the Apple Cassette Interface.

The Command Line To AIFF Converter

C program. Download source code here: toaiff.c

only tested on Macintosh OS/X (PPC version)
should be easily portable to other platforms with POSIX support - type sizes might need to be adjusted, though
this version will only write one continous segment
for multiple segments, run program for each segment seperately and name so music player will play one after another
compile in a terminal window using the command: cc toaiff.c -o toaiff

To convert

put the Apple command line program in same directory as the toaiff program
type command: ./toaiff inputfilename outputfilename
make sure the output file name ends in .aif
copy to itunes and load on your favorite music player
volume setting on iPod should be turned to about 3/4 of full volume
connect output to apple ACI
enter Apple 1 monitor commands to load program, as if you were connected to a cassette player
play sound file, just like you are playing a cassette recorder to load a program
check last two bytes - they should match last two bytes in program
if it fails to load properly try adjusting music player volume

Example Sound File

This is my Apple 1 memory test converted to aif format using this program: a1mt.aif

More Programs in AIFF Format

Wendell Sander has a number of programs in AIFF audio format on his site
