Apple //e Fire Organ 1985

In 1985 I hooked my pimped-out Apple //e to my VCR then ran the program "Fire Organ".
Look familair?
Sorry, no music. Maybe later.
(Note the sound of a distressed floppy drive!)
The "Speedup card" is (was!) a math co-processor.

This was 25 years ago or so.

I DID have an Arithmetic Co-Processor.

It was basically a calculator the computer wrote to then read the result from.

Check out the "Jim's Demo Film".

Each frame took one minute to calculate and a minute to photograph.

I was able to merge the Beagle Brothers Double Hi--Res operating system with the ACP operating system to have both features at once.

Check out my flickr page, see the CineMagic Magazine article.

Nice. I find myself looking for the high-bit colour clashes. There's a good blue on green one with a jagged red fringe at 2:28.

Check out my low rez and 16mm film ones, and the Asteroid film.

Can you spot the Apple // sequences?

So... You //ed at one time, long ago?

Can you imagine my Apple //e videos playing on an iPhone?

It makes my brain itch!

Can anyone reccommend appropriate music?
