Hi, none of ya'll probably remember me. Bu I am looking for a copy of Microsoft BASIC source code. I believe I have found it here: http://www.pagetable.com/?p=774 , but I am not too sure. Can anyone verify that this is Microsoft BASIC and not some sort of fraud?

Hi James, yes, I remember you! Pagetable.com is Michael Steil's site, he's extremely credible. You can be sure this is the real thing. He's posted several analyses about various basics (and a lot more of interest to 6502 fans and Commodore fans)

There's also this one: Create your own Version of Microsoft BASIC for 6502, on the same site. (It's on my links page.)

For reference purposes only (because it does not seem to be downloadable), there is also the Applesoft II listing which was a flavor of Microsoft BASIC customized by Apple (for Hires instructions handling) here:
http://www.txbobsc.com/scsc/scdocumentor/
The reader also benefits from wise comments about easter eggs and buried bugs within the code.
This is a constant reference material for people like I who design Applesoft extensions as a hobby.

HTHATS,
Benoît

Wow, cool Benoit. The Apple II is the only apple product I like :P

I started my version of the code from the pagetable site although I found the way it was presented there hard to follow and I don't know how to use CC65 so couldn't assemble it. In the end I found that Grant Searle on his site had a version all in one file that I found easier to follow: http://searle.hostei.com/grant/6502/Simple6502.html

That version is based on the OSI version of BASIC which is probably the simplest and most closely matched what I wanted to do. I then added my own IO routines to it and after MUCH fiddling got things working: http://www.asciimation.co.nz/bb/2013/10/02/orwell-keyboard-input-and-basic

I've progressed a lot since then and now have a fully functioning machine with extended basic, keyboard, video, sound, serial in/out and general IO including an analog joystick port! I just need to make a case for it all. I also found the Apple BASIC listing very useful so I could see how someone else had modified the original MS BASIC to do what they wanted.

I'm not sure what the etticuite is on reviving dead threads, but I found this thread useful.
Grant Searle's version which is unified and cc65 ready was really easy to use, but with 1 problem.
Updated link:
http://searle.x10host.com/6502/Simple6502.html
There is a bug in the ctrl-c handling code which causes LIST/RUN commands to not work.
The ISCNTC always runs into STOP no matter what, so LIST/RUN just simple exits right away.
The original code here: http://www.pagetable.com/?p=46
does not have the bug.
The fix is to simply copy the code from the original source.
Here is a diff:
Code:
diff --git a/Microsoft Basic/osi_bas.s b/Microsoft Basic/osi_bas.s

(Welcome! Reviving old threads is fine here, when genuinely continuing the same topic.)

Also, if I could do a little self-promotion, I've put MS BASIC in a 6502 build where it will assemble for various systems like Microtan, OSI, etc.

https://github.com/cbmeeks/6502-Builds

Hope it's helpful.
