- Hey all you phreakers! Bet you didn't know about this! It's...
-
- The Poor Man's 2600 Hertz!!
-
- What the hell could I be talking about!?!? Well, let's say you're really hard
- up (not in your usual sense, this time). You really need to make 2600 Hertz
- so you can have lotsa phun on the trunk lines, right? But your mom and dad
- didn't give you a blue box for Christmas- just an Apple! And of course you
- don't have a nice precision music card (like mine) or an Apple Cat. So what
- the hell can you do? Well, you're not out of it yet. You, too, can make 2600
- Hertz! Yes, that's right! With NO additional hardware! Try and beat
- that with a stick (or your fist even for that matter). And I bet you've even
- figured out that I'm about to tell you just how to do this. Well, you're
- right! EVERYBODY KNOWS... that at $FCA8, there's a little routine called
- "WAIT". We are going to use that to produce the needed delay in the
- production of our tone. Yes, you will have to use a little machine language.
- But I'm going to show you exactly what to type here. So even you, yes YOU
- Poindexter, can get this right! Here's all you do...
-
- If you have an Apple //e with the enhancement installed, just type CALL-151
- from BASIC and get into the monitor. From there, hit a "!" to use the mini-
- assembler. Enter this exactly as it appears...
-
- !1000: LDX $C030
- ! LDA #$06
- ! JSR $FCA8
- ! JMP $1000
-
- And there you have it! Hit <RET> to get back to the monitor. Then, type
- "1000G" and listen to that beautiful tone! Not EXACTLY 2600 Hz, but close
- enough to do the trick!
-
- For you non-enhanced types, you can just load up INTEGER BASIC (Ha!) and type
- "F666G" from the monitor and use the mini-assembler there. After typing the
- above code in, type "$FF69G" to return to the monitor, and proceed as above.
- You would do that on a ][+, too (people still use those!?).
-
- In all cases, just hit RESET to shut the thing up! Use it as you will. In
- case you didn't know, you can use that tone to reset SPRINT, MCI, etc. nodes
- to there dial tone. That way, you don't have to keep punching in your local
- number first. Just type the code and go! Pretty nice. Well, you can learn
- what to do from all the philes around about blue boxing. 2600 Hz doesn't
- work on 800 numbers here anymore. SHIT! What's going on? ESS? Well, if you
- live in ESS, don't try this! They'll snag your little butt fer sher! Then
- it's off to reform school for you! Well, have phun! And remember...
-
- I didn't tell you this!
