Well, The Apple ][ GS books have begun hitting the shelves. The first one I have seen is called "The Apple ][ GS Toolbox Revealed" by Bantam Publishing. It is geared toward beginners but does talk about the built in subroutines in the Toolbox. Price: $21.95. There is another book by the same publisher to be released called " The Apple ][ GS Book". No price yet. Nick S. AT&T I.S. Denver

Not specifically on the IIGS but interesting anyway is a book entitled something like "The 6502, 65C02, and 65C816" by David Eyes, published by Brady. I read some of the chapters while the book was being written, and it is very enlightening. It made understanding these chips easy. There is lots of sample code, which should provide a good leg up on programming the '816. David had access to many if not all of the pre-production revs of the '816, and he now works at Apple, and has hacked Apple IIs since they first came out. He is also a very good writer, and helped write the outline for my book on Macintosh programming. I can confidently say it would have a weaker book without his help. I haven't seen ANY 65816 books in the stores on the east coast yet, but there are ads for it in many computer magazines. Rats! I can't find my APDA catalog, but it would be a good bet that you would find it in there, too. -Zigurd

The title is closer to "Programming the 65816". If you already know assembly language, the book is a very good introduction to the chip and its heritage. >David had access to many if not all of the pre-production revs of the '816, >and he now works at Apple... David is in charge of the tools group (responsible for APW, etc.) at Apple, I believe. >I haven't seen ANY 65816 books in the stores on the east coast yet, but there >are ads for it in many computer magazines. I've found plenty here in San Diego. They should ooze out to all corners of the continent pretty quickly. grobbins
