Knowing 68K assembler is pretty much all you need to start.  Later on
you'll want to know how to use the TI-92's ROM calls (for things like
displaying text) and library functions, but these are all secondary to
knowing asm.  My favorite 68k book is "First Steps in Assembly Language for
the 68000," which is a good general-purpose primer and also tells you how
to do some neat things like efficient loops and quick data access.
