- Short: Assembler course, for beginners. AWESOME!!
- Author: gc@tyana.denkart.be (Geert Coelmont)
- Uploader: horror@smartnet.co.za (Mike Erasmus)
- Type: dev/asm
-
- Intro:
- -----
- This is a Motorola 68000 assembler course on which the emphasis is on the
- Amiga, what else?
-
- It starts at the verrrrry beginning - introducing you to loops and decision
- making using amiga assembler. The whole purpose is to create a an "intro".
- Look at demo/intro for the basic ideas on Aminet.
-
- NB!!NB!! The hard coded assembler and copper addresses etc (spare me the
- techy stuff, please?!?) was supposed to work on pre-AGA machines like the
- A500, A600, A2000, A3000 etc etc. It will however still work on AGA
- machines. I reccomend using the tool KillAGA on Aminet if you want to test
- out your masterpiece. Remeber, that was 1992.
-
- The little "demo" was one we actually used, put together by C00L-G/Silents.
-
- Requirements:
- ------------
- 1. An Amiga, duhhh? Whats that? Is it PeeCee compatible...
- 2. An assembler, like DevPac 3 or Barfly(on Aminet). I have, however
- included AsmOne. Which is quite old, but will do the job.
- 3. Get the Amiga Includes for assembler, it sounds difficult but it should
- be on the Amiga developersCD, as well as on numerous Fish CD-ROMs
- available from http://www.ninemoons.com. You will have to know your
- stuff to be able to work without that includes, if you want to write
- system frienldy things.
- 4. Amiga ROM Kernel Manuals. Not needed, but believe me, verrrrry handy.
- You may just need it. If you just want to code demos, then it may not be
- needed.

- I was asked not to spread this, that was 5 years ago. Well, since the Amiga
- is in pretty dire straightsI reason there may be people who want to start
- asm coding on Amiga, but hopefully Geert won't mind this being put on
- Aminet for the sake of the Amiga's future ;-))
-
- The reason I have upped this is coz i have had this for over 5 years now,
- yes - since April 1992 when Geert sent me this, at that stage there was no
- such thing as e-mail. The Internet was still 2 years away...

- have any queries rather contact Geert, please take note that his Amiga is
- gathering dust, so don't think you will get any luck with him these days.

- End Notes:
- --------
- The .za in my e-mail address is NOT Zambia or Zaire as many of you think,
- it is Zuid-Afrika!!! South Africa, hard to believe but the Internet is old
- news here, so are telephones fax machines, cellphones, satellite T.V and
- houses made of stone with tarred roads. There is(hard to believe) some
- civilized life in Afrika. Yea thats true! 4 airlines fly in total *25*
- flights weekly to the U.K, and you can catch DAILY flights from Miami, Los
- Angeles and New York to our wonderful country.
-
- Sorry for the above geography lessons but I dunno what you think, you know
- we have Amigas here so then it MUST be a civilized place !!!
-
- Please xcuse my English, I am actually Afrikaans! :-)))
