[comp.sys.apple] GS REF MAN

NEY6@HBUNOS.BITNET (01/19/88)

I've asked a friend living in the U.S. to get for me Apple IIgs Firmware
Reference Vols 1 & 2,among other GS books.
He mail-ordered the books somewhere in New Jersey,and after a while he got a
note from the store repremending him that IIgs Firmware Manuals are not out
yet.
I've seen two companys advertise these books in A+,Incider & Nibble :
1.Computers Plus Company,of Phoenix,AZ.
2.Hieroglyphic Communications,of London,Ontario,Canada.
Now,Computers Plus's ad reads "Apple IIgs Firmware Reference...$29"
Hierglyphic Communications' reads  "IIgs Firm Ref v1 or 2 --$21.00"
I'm  confused.

The Apple IIGS Firmware Reference Manual has been published and consists
of one volume.  The Apple IIGS ToolKit Reference Manual has not yet (to
my knowledge) been published and will probably consist of two volumes.
There is also an Apple IIGS Hardware Reference Manual (one volume), an
Apple ProDOS-16 Technical Reference Manual (one volume), and a soft-cover
volume entitled something like Programmer's Introduction to the Apple IIGS.

That soft-bound book you mention is called "Techincal_Introduction_to_the_
IIGS".

Also published and on the shelves in soft-back is "Human_Interface_
Guidelines".

The //gs Firmware Manual is one book only.  It costs about $25.  The //gs
Toolbox Reference Manuals Vol. I and II are two books, and they will probably
be published just about the time a completely new ProDOS 16 v2.0 comes out and
makes them instantly obsolete. :-)
