   I mentioned "the bible" of 6502 (even if the C64 has a 6510) assembly   
   language by Rodnay Zaks. The cheapest used book on Amazon is less than $7 CAD.   
      
   It's also available at archive.org in PDF format for free. Since it's   
   still there I assume no copyright has been broken.   
      
   Email me otherwise.

   It's an emulator. I don't like these minis, along with other retro consoles   
   . They   
   usually have an ARM processor and software to emulate a system.   
      
   Since they are only emulators you could just had installed the VICE   
   emulator on your PC/Mac. It's even better then the mini because it has a   
   built-in "monitor" program let's you editing assembly code   
   . If I fancy to write an assembly   
   language I use this. Another big advantage is that on executing your   
   program crashes on the mini and the real thing all is lost. In the VICE   
   emulator the program is still there and you can edit the code.
