My school has recently purchased a program called Publish.it2 (prodos name), but now we find that it won't run on anything lower than an enhanced Apple //e. All of the computers have fully loaded 64k 80 column cards, so memory isn't the problem. I did a bit of research, and it seems the enhancements involved replacing the 6502 with a 65C02 (I've also seen 6503's in 'em), and replacing the ROMs with updated versions. Does anybody know any easier ways of getting around this problem with Publish it, or, if not, does any one know where we could get a good deal on the new ROMs and CPUs for lets say 30 or so computers ??

If you tell them that it educational related, and the number of upgrade kits you want. They may give you a good deal. -- Matthew Lee Stier | Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27709-3447 | "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: { sun, mcnc!rti }!sunpix!matthew | phone: (919) 469-8300 fax: (919) 460-8355 |
