  • In essence, machine code programming is direct programming of the microprocessor without using a built-in high-level computer language such as BASIC.
  • The vast increase in running speed obtained when writing programs in machine code is offset, to a degree, by the added complexity in writing them. However, it is not as difficult as one might think and this book tells the story.
  • The 6502 microprocessor is utilised in many popular home computers including the Electron, BBC models A and B, VIC-20, ORIC-1/ Atmos and the Atari machines. Also, the Commodore 64 uses the 6510 which is a slightly modified but software compatible version of the 6502.
  • Some simple demonstration programs which can be run on a number of the above machines are included in this book.
