riffraff Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I know it's an assembler and monitor cartridge. I've tested it but can not figure out who made it. There is a hole in the top of the cartrige as if for a switch, but there's no switch. Any help would be appreciated.

Rybags Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Does the Monitor have a memory hex/text dump command? There might be a buried message somewhere in the Rom - most likely the Rom would live around $8000-$BFFF.

riffraff Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm sure it does, I could try and guess at the syntax. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/197000-can-someone-identify-this-c-64-cartridge/#findComment-2507480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Plug it in and type the SYS commands and see if anything pops up on the screen.

riffraff Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yeah I did that.. it responded with what you'd think, but just no identification.. just [Assembly] for the one and a monitor prompt for the other.

riffraff Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Doing some poking around, I believe this cart may be a Supersoft Mikro Assembler. I'd like to verify that by getting an image somewhere of the cartridge.. or perhaps even a supersoft logo which probably matches that little owl in the corner.

carlsson Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Niklas "Bacon" Ramsberg scanned the Audiogenic release of Supersoft's Mikro Assembler for the VIC-20. It looks like their logo was a Superman "S", not an owl: http://www.zimmers.n...s/8k/index.html Mayhem has only one Supersoft title in his online collection, and that cart both looks different and has just a matrix printed label: http://www.mayhem64....k/supersoft.htm Of course that still might mean your cartridge indeed is Supersoft Mikro Assembler, re-released by someone else who put their own name and logo on the cartridge. Worse thefts of identity and intellectual property has happened before.

Mayhem Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It's Assembler 64 apparently. I haven't been able to determine a publisher for it though, but I did find a ROM dump of it online.

riffraff Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I will ask over at Lemon64 and see if I can get a confirmation on it being Supersoft.

riffraff Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ahh I didn't think it would be such a simple name as Assembler 64 =) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/197000-can-someone-identify-this-c-64-cartridge/#findComment-2508051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) See also this document: http://www.npsnet.co.../languages.html I doubt it is Interceptor Micros' assembler by Ian Gray, re-released on cartridge. Perhaps Abacus-ware? Of course the above list doesn't need to be complete. After inspecting the ROM dump, apart from the *** ASSEMBLING *** string, I see hints about IEEE support as well. Previous discussions suggested it is PAL (as in the assembler, not the video mode) compatible. I'd think this is something of PET origin, ported to VIC and C64.
