[net.micro.cbm] C128 Reference Guide

btb@psuecl.BITNET (04/27/86)

   I have heard a great deal of talk in the last few months about people
trying to find a reference guide for the 128.  Usually I try to just send to
those who post that they need some help, but since this has been on here a
few time I figured I would tell some over the net.
    About three months ago I purchased a book called "128 INTERNALS" from
Abacus Software.  This book has been a great aid to me in programming the
128.  I have not, however; had the time to go through this book in as much
detail as I usually like too, but so far it looks as up to par as thier other
books.  For instance if anyone out there knows the "ANATOMY OF THE 1541", which
was probably the first book that actually explained how to use the features of
the 1541 disk drive and probably did the best of any book, this book comes
right up there in the same catagory of helping you figure out those strange
features that others try to shy away from.
    So I would highly recommend this book along with thier other books.  Abacus
Software has a whole string of books just for the 128.  You can probably see
an add for them in any magazine.

   I am in no way affiliated with Abacus Software.  I just like thier books so
much that I thought that I would let others know about them.
