Don Lancaster put the following AppleWriter patches in his "Ask the Guru" column in Computer Shopper in March 1987. They will let you print out through the //gs's internal serial Port with AppleWriter. AppleWriter 2.0 version only: use a BACKUP copy, this patch makes Applewriter unusable on anything but the //gs. CALL -151 BLOAD AWD.SYS,A$2000,E$6020,TSYS VERIFY 4DB0- A0 CHANGE 4DB0: 60 VERIFY 4F67- 01 CHANGE 4F67: 10 VERIFY 4F6E- 31 CHANGE 4F6E: 13 BSAVE AWD.SYS,A$2000,E$6020 AppleWriter 2.1 version only (If you have 2.0 the 2.1 upgrade is free from your Apple dealer) CALL-151 BLOAD AWD.SYS,A$2000,E$6020,T$0C VERIFY 4DC7- A0 CHANGE 4DC7: 60 VERIFY 4F7E- 01 CHANGE 4F7E: 10 VERIFY 4F85- 31 CHANGE 4F85: 13 BSAVE AWD.SYS,A$2000,E$6020,T$0C These changes work only with the //gs by preventing the program from writing to the 6551 chip which is in the Super Serial card but not the //gs. Install these patches from Basic.System. Thanks to Don Lancaster for helping us Applewriter users out!
