I seem to have stumbled on a mother-lode of swap disks and other software for these devices and thought it worth sharing:
The "swap" directory contains tons of source code in BASIC, assembly language, and Forth. I have not yet begun to scratch the surface of all this! (Perhaps we might post interesting things found therein as replies to this thread?)
I apologize for the redundant information if this was well-known to others or posted here earlier than the Forum search cut-off. It just seems so wonderful!
