Create Apple II software by conversation with Claude

Tools

Claude

Overview

I’ve revived my Apple II Agent project from January: An Apple IIe with an Ethernet card and a custom client It links up to Claude through a proxy on my Mac and allows conversational Apple II software creation similar to Claude Code When it’s done, it loads the new program into memory

Workflow

Suggested implementation: Revive an Apple II Agent project using an Apple IIe with an Ethernet card and custom client. Connect to Claude via a Mac proxy to enable conversational software creation similar to Claude Code. The system loads new programs into memory upon completion. Human role: Review generated code and approve execution before loading.

Reported result

No measured results or success metrics are reported in the source. The project status is described as revived, but functional outcomes are unknown. Proposed acceptance check: Verify that a simple 'Hello World' program is successfully generated, transferred, and executed on the Apple IIe hardware.

Human role

The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.

Limitations

Prerequisites include specific legacy hardware (Apple IIe, Ethernet card) and custom client software. Integration uncertainty exists regarding the proxy stability and Claude API compatibility. Source reliability is low as the original post is blocked or too short. Human approval is required for all code execution.

Try it

Act as a developer reviving an Apple II Agent project. I have an Apple IIe with an Ethernet card and a custom client, connected to Claude via a proxy on my Mac. My goal is to create simple Apple II software through conversation. First, ask me for the specific program requirements and the target file format (e.g., Applesoft BASIC). Then, generate the code. Before sending any code to the hardware, display it to me for review and ask for explicit confirmation. If I approve, simulate the transfer process and confirm the program loads into memory. If I reject, revise the code based on my feedback. Do not proceed to the next step without my input. Start by asking: 'What simple program would you like to create for the Apple IIe?'
