Yeah, odd for someone to redo it. So did the Apple ][, with lots more commented ROM.

I don't want to shit on him though. It's a great exercise. It's only 256 bytes, and you can compare to the original's comments when you're done to see if you were on the right track.

Oh, absolutely. It is in no way bad, I'm just wondering how one gets this far down the retro rabbit hole (An Apple I is a pretty obscure piece of hardware) and misses a thing it was well-known for. Obviously, it happens.

Perhaps just a learning exercise in preparation for something much bigger. Seems like a fun project!

Learning exercise? Keeps them off the streets at least.

If someone’s really keen how about annotating the old GEOS applications from the c64? Someone’s already done the OS.

Wouldn't it then just be the assembly of the ROM?
