hello networld!
I just got finished taking down five apple //c's for a big conference
we're having here at Reed college, and I typed pr#7 just for kicks.
I got the message 'appletalk not connected'. I assume they have the
latest ROM mods (They came from Apple direct), so I guess included with
the package for the 3.5 inch drive also gives appletalk capability.
Has anyone heard official word from Apple about this? One of my
roomates has a //c and she's interested in the 3.5 inch drives. Is it
also true that there's no way to use a Sider with a //c?
Also, I am looking for a Kermit for an Apple //e, 80co board, ssc, and
ASCII Express Pro. I've got all these silly little text files on the
Vax, and I want to download them and edit them with applewriter(Dos 3.3
version, of course). Anyone have one?
By the way, as mentioned earlier, prefix <path> is the ProDos command to
set paths. A really good source of information on Dos 3.3 (The good
dos) and ProDos (The fast dos) is _Beneath_Apple_(Pro)Dos_ by Don Worth
and Peiter Lechner. These guys are the best. If you decide to buy the
ProDos Reference Manual, beware! It has false info. It seems that in
early versions of ProDos, there were routines to split applsoft programs
around the High-Res screens. As PorDos grew, these routines had to be
removed due to lack of space. It seems, however, that the manual had
plenty of space, and no one took the discriptions of these features out
of it. . .Oh, well. This may have been changed with newer versions of
the Tech Ref. I don't know.
