***Using the Git bash command, change the OS: `export OS=cygwin`.***

I had to add the make command by following the instructions here: https://gist.github.com/evanwill/0207876c3243bbb6863e65ec5dc3f058#make. From ezwinports, use the **make without guile** zip file.

- Install python-is-python3 on your Debian or Ubuntu machine
- Install `64tass`. The version available in the Ubuntu repos compiles the source without errors.
- Execute `git clone https://github.com/FoenixRetro/f256-superbasic.git`
- Execute `git clone https://github.com/WartyMN/Foenix-F256JR-bootscreens.git`
- Change into the directory `f256-superbasic/source`
- Execute `make`
- If this succeeds there will be an updated file called `basic.rom` in the directory `f256-superbasic/source/build`
- Change into the directory `f256-superbasic/source/build`
- Execute the command `python splitrom.py`
- If this succeeds there will be 4 updated files called `sb01.bin`, `sb02.bin`, `sb03.bin` and `sb04.bin` which can be flashed to the F256 Jr./K

The output of make:
[[File:Make-super-basic.png|thumb|Output of make]]

I modified the 00start.asm file on line #30 to change the F256Header from "basic" to "sbasic", this way it shows up in the system commands as a separate command.
```assembly
F256Header:
.text $f2,$56 ; Signature
.byte 4 ; 4 blocks
.byte 4 ; mount at $8000
.word Boot ; Start here
.byte 1 ; version
.byte 0 ; reserved
.byte 0 ; reserved
.byte 0 ; reserved
.text "sbasic",0 ; name of program.
.text 0 ; arguments
.text "The SuperBASIC environment.",0 ; description
```

After splitting the ==basic.rom== into bins, I then flashed with this CSV:
```
08,sb01.bin
09,sb02.bin
0a,sb03.bin
0b,sb04.bin
```

After reboot, type `/sbasic`.
Performing the `print ?(8+4)` results in `72`.
