According to the local ADA expert, there was a company that
advertised ADA for the Apple until DoD pointed out to them that
(a) ADA is a trademark of DoD and (b) if DoD hasn't verified the code, then
it isn't really ADA. No news on whether they eventually got validated or
not, and he can't remember the company's name, anyway.
My main point here is if you do find someone selling ADA for the
Apple, be sure it's a legal version or it might not be worth much.
