It contains a high-frequency tone with which you can align your tape recording head. If you have problems loading programs into your Apple from cassette tape, your recording head may need aligning. It is possible that your problem loading programs from cassette tape is being caused by a mechanical malfunction. Before using this tape, check that your tape recorder is mechanically sound and your Apple is working properly. You should be aware that tapes recorded with a poorly aligned head will not work properly when played back on a recorder with a properly aligned one. Before you use the Alignment Test Tone tape, it is a good idea to LOAD any programs you may have saved with your poorly aligned recorder and then reSAVE them with a recorder that you know is working well. You will need the following articles in order to align your tape recording head with this method: 1. The Alignment Test Tone cassette tape. 2. A non-conductive surface to work on, such as a wooden table or desk. If you work on metal or any other conductive surface, you may get an electrical shock, or damage your recorder's electronics. 3. A Phillips screw driver. 4. Batteries for your cassette recorder. The Alignment Test Tone is not a program. In fact, your Apple isn't even used in the head-aligning process. Disengage your cassette recorder from your Apple, and rewind the Alignment Test Tone tape to the beginning. Now, unplug your recorder, and you are ready to begin. Note: Your recording head can only be adjusted to approximately its ideal alignment with the Alignment Test Tone. For a more accurate adjustment, your tape recorder must be serviced by a trained technician. The head-aligning process is really quite simple. The tape is played on the cassette recorder you wish to adjust. The high-pitched sound emitted by the tape is about 5 kilohertz or five thousand cycles per second. While the tape is playing, the azimuth adjustment screw is adjusted until the sound made by the tape is at its loudest. When the sound is as loud as it will go, the recording head is adjusted properly. Cassette tape recorders are all a little different. On some of them the azimuth adjustment screw is easy to get to, while on others (such as the Panasonic) the outside cover must be removed from the recorder in order to locate the screw. Unplug your recorder, remove the Alignment Test Tone tape, and press the PLAY button. The recording head, (the shiny metal thing, usually centered just behind the control buttons) and some other metal and plastic parts, will move forward (toward the speaker). If you didn't see this in action, press the STOP button and then press the PLAY button again, watching carefully. 1 Azimuth Adjustment Screw 2 Recording Head 3 Control Buttons Locate the recording head in the photograph, then locate the recording head on your own tape recorder. The rounded, highly polished surface on the recording head puts recorded information on the tape. This surface Again find the azimuth adjustment screw in the first photograph.

(The Panasonic has five screws holding the case to the inner mechanism, counting the one in the battery case.) Make sure you know which screw fits in which hole so that they won't get mixed up when you put your recorder back together. Then gently remove the bottom casing, being careful of the wires that hold it to the inner mechanism. SAMPLER These wires are not very strong and some care must be taken to see that Submitted by: Bruce Tognazzini they are not damaged. Program Language: Integer BASIC Now that the back has been removed, the handle and the top part of the casing should come right off. If they don't come off easily, look for screws on the front.

  • A Nybble on the Apple, April 1977, BYTE Magazine
    A Nybble .on the Apple capabilities, I suggested that we sit down and implement a "Color Eater" algorithm with Apple-II's integer BASIC interpreter with color graphics extensions. I had first seen the Color Eater program demonstrated in an advanced graphics research laboratory late in 1975 (the idea of the program is not original with me, and I will provide the source upon request). The Color Eater always lives in the matrix in the color TV display at some point. The Color Eater is a very simple animal. It looks at its nearest neighbors in the color matrix, searching in a clockwise direction for its current "digestible" color. If it finds this color, it moves its location to the matrix position oJ that color, digests it into a new color, and reiterates its search. Occasionally, the Color Eater becomes a very frustrated little animal. It eats itself into a corner and no longer is able to find any digestible colors . When this catastrophe happens, it throws a fit and turns itself into another variety of Color Eater which can eat itself out of the frustration point. The result is a constantly changing random color pattern on the screen, illustrated in one state in this photo made with the Apple-II computer's output to a standard color television. That evening last November, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and I sat down and Notes by Carl Helmers proceeded to use the Apple-II BASIC (which is a 5 K interpreter with 16 bit integer arithmetic) to program the Color Eater Next month, we'll have an article by Steve game.

What a treasure trove of information you have collected and organized! I have not yet had an opportunity to look at them in detail, but what I have seen looks pretty neat. You seem to be more of a trivia pack rat than even _I_ am! I did notice one item: The Byte magazine "letter from Wozniak" does appear to be a joke by the guy writing the column, rather than a true letter from Wozniak. This may not be news to you, but I thought I'd put my two cents worth. :-) You asked something about whether or not a disassembly of PRODOS had been done anywhere. I had thought that the writers of Beneath Apple ProDOS had published a disassembly listing, but it was only a listing of pertinent parts of the code (what a certain part of the code does, not the disassembly listing of the opcodes).
