About
The files for the site's course Assembly Disc Access Primer: the three practice disc images the course works on, DISKMON as each section leaves it, and the finished program. All of it was made for the course.
Using Them
Unzip the folder. Put diskmon.com on a disc image with edisc.py and run it under XtalDOS in MAME, as S2 shows. Always work on a copy of a practice disc, never the one from the download: several sections change them. The listings are there to check your own typing against; the course works best if you type DISKMON in yourself.
