Save the following program as spkr.asm
.include "apple2.inc" SPEAKER = $C030 .segment "CODE" .proc main lda #0 sta $50 bit KBDSTRB loop: lda KBD asl bcc :+ bit KBDSTRB jsr $BF00 .byte $65 .addr * + 2 .byte 4 .byte 0 .word 0000 .byte 0 .word 0000 : dec $50 bne loop lda SPEAKER jmp loop .endproc
This program will simply hum the speaker till a key is pressed and will then quit back to ProDOS.
Compile the program to spkr.apple2 using the following command line:
cl65 -t apple2 -u __EXEHDR__ spkr.asm apple2.lib -o spkr.apple2 -C apple2-asm.cfg
The differences with the “C” program are:
-
-u __EXEHDR__
adds a needed header -
apple2.lib
adds a needed library -
-C apple2-asm.cfg
uses a config file specifically set up for assembly programs
Follow the instructions from Prepare a disk for your program but replace the word hello
with the word spkr
.
Run the program and you should hear the speaker hum, till you press a key when the program quits, and you are back in the file selector at ProDOS.
