Just inherited an AppleII+ with lots of boards and
games and disk drives and etc...
Could someone suggest a book(s) similar to Peter
Norton's "Inside the IBM PC" and "the Fully Powered
PC" for a new Apple user with obviously non state
of the art equipment.
Thank you.

The _Apple II User's Guide:Second Edition_ is for Apple II+ and IIe. It was
written by Lon Poole, Martin McNiff, and Steven Cook, and published by
Osborne/McGraw-Hill in 1983. ISBN 0-88134-104-5. (1st edition was published
a few years earlier).
I don't know if it's still available. If it is, it might be a good place to
start.
In case you want to run AppleWorks, and aren't already setup to do so,
PLUS-WORKS-][ (Norwich Data Services, Ltd., PO Box 356, East Norwich NY
11732-0356. tel: 516-922-9584 and 201-679-0594) lets you do it on a ][+
if you have one of a wide range of 80 column cards and one of an
equally wide range of ramcards (with the minimum being RAM expansion
thru a 16K card in slot 0). {It also allows ][e owners to users that
wide array of cards for AppleWorks, thus expanding desktop}.

Mine is the second edition, but I believe there is a third edition out now
that includes PRODOS as well as DOS 3.3. I still pull this book out
occationally.
