| | Apple II Miscellaneous Technical Note #2 |
| | For all current Apple IIgs computers, the value returned in machine is $84 (high bit set to signify Apple IIgs and $04 because it matches the ID bytes of an enhanced Apple IIe). | | | This Technical Note presents a new version of the Apple II Family Identification Routine, a sample piece of code which shows how to identify various Apple II computers and their memory configurations. | | | On an Apple IIe, the routine moves code into the zero page to test for the presence of auxiliary memory. |
