Original source code written in 2016 by Olivier Zardini and Antoine Vignau to test and support the 4play card by Alex Lukazi.

The 4play card is a quad digital joypad interface card for the Apple II. It brings great enhancements to the Apple II multiplayer capabilities. We like that card and we support it. We also include two versions of our patched Lode Runner, one for the Rev. A card and one for the Rev. B card, you will likely get the Rev. B one when you purchase it.

Cold boot the diskette or launch from GS/OS, BLOAD FP.DRIVER and BRUN TEST.FP

The source code is included. It is written in Merlin and has enough comments for you to understand how to program it.
