Information Inside the Commodore Assembly Development System package

The programs MONITOR$C000[1] and MONITOR$8000[2] (also aka MADS Monitor) are two machine language monitors, which are part of the "Commodore Assembly Development System package" sold by Commodore. They load to memory areas $C000 (49152) and $8000 (32768). To load MONITOR$C000, the programmer types in LOAD"MONITOR$C000",8,1 and presses the RETURN  key. After it loads, the programmer then types in SYS49152 and presses the RETURN  key. This runs the monitor version $C000. The following is from an actual display:
