Open Apple #27: Daniel Kruszyna, demoparties, iSteve, and clones

Resistance - Apple IIgsThis month on Open Apple, Mike and Ken chat with famed demo programmer Daniel Kruszyna, aka krüe. We chat about @party, the upcoming fourth annual demoparty to be held in recently beleaguered Boston, and how even non-programmers will find plenty to like. The first of three movies based on the life of Steve Jobs is now available for free online streaming — what’s the popular verdict on iSteve? There’s still more CFFAs coming from Rich Dreher, and they’ll work on even an original Apple-1, of which Mike Willegal is making yet more replicas. Speaking of clones, we found a “Redstone” Apple IIe clone in Australia that looks like a PC XT and is certainly no Tiger Learning Computer.

Find the show at the Open Apple Web site or in the iTunes and Zune podcast directories.

Daniel Kruszyna releases sixtyfive assembler

From Daniel’s comp.sys.apple2 post:

I wrote a forth style Apple II cross assembler:

http://krue.net/sixtyfive/

sixtyfive is a forth style assembler. It’s only been tested with gforth, but I’m open to adding support for others if it’s not too much trouble.

sixtyfive supports 6502, 65c02, and 65c816 opcodes.
sixtyfive can output a limited set of OMF files.
sixtyfive can compile resource definitions.
sixtyfive can make ToolBox calls (they’re not all added yet though).
sixtyfive can output ProDOS disk images.
