I've been looking through magazines from time to time, making notes of anything interesting to me that I may want to come back to. This subject just happens to be one of them. Here you go, straight from my notes! :-)

https://archive.org/details/Apple-Orchard-v1n1-1980-Mar-Apr
p47-48; Converting Brand X To Work With Brand Y {assembler conversion guide}

https://archive.org/details/Apple-Orchard-v1n3-1980-1-Winter
p35,39; Some Notes About The UCSD Assembler {the Apple Pascal assembler}
p43-52; Inside The Silentype [printer] Firmware {interface card; memory pokes; for Apple Pascal assembler}

The Universe is populated by stable things. -- Richard Dawkins
