Yeah, thats the simulator I'm using now which didn't support display memory which is why I had to emulate it.

Thanks for the info but I don't understand quite a bit of what you said.
Still learning 6502 assembly after a short break so once that is done hopefully I can learn how to build something which uses it.

I'm ...

The keyboards aren't broken, they just have the keys too close together.
The other thing is my only apple II assembly book gives you a broken assembler to work with and the code in the book uses commands only their assembler understands.

I'm still looking for more tutorials though, the one I found ...

Thanks for the tip, and yes, writing to $E001 in the simulator outputs a character to a display window.

Thanks for the info, any specific books/sites you can recommend?
Still learning 6502 asm, the site I looked at didn't explain the code samples very well but I picked up enough to do this:

.START .Main

.Main LDY #$00 ; String indexer

Best way to learn 6502 assembly without real hardware?

Is it possible to learn 6502 assembly on my pc?
I have several apple IIs lying around but the keyboards are not friendly when it comes to lots of typing - that and the small screen size.
After learning how to program for the 6502 I'd like to build a small computer, what can you recommend for someone ...

The problem I'm having is the simple assembler program which is listed in the book takes a long time to enter into my apple and doesn't even work.

I don't know ( and don't really ...
