Hello fans of the Apple 2!
With the help of Philippe M. in Marseille, all floppy disks of Bol
Processor BP1 dating back to 1980 have been duplicated. These include
the source code in 6502, the binary program running on Apple 2 (64K) and
sets of data — Jim Kippen's work on tabla improvisation in North India.
Philippe also transfered 3 disks to "DSK" images which can be downloaded
here:
https://bolprocessor.org/misc/BP1/
The source+program disk is named "BP-PRG.DSK".
We ran BP1 on an Apple II emulator. (Beware that the display is on 80
columns…) It all works fine even though I am no longer familiar with the
interface! It will require an hour of training, remembering and documenting…
This material could be used in a memorial meeting, next year, for
celebrating 40 years of development on Bol Processor. :-)
