[comp.sys.apple] McGraw-Hill's gs Tech. Ref.

mccann@puff.UUCP (02/27/87)

I just bought (for $19.95) a copy of Osborne McGraw-Hill's "Apple IIgs
Technical Reference" book, by Michael Fischer (who wrote "65816/65802
Assembly Language Programming").  It's 700 (!) pages of charts, tables, text,
and even some assembly code.  Looks to be an invaluble reference book.

What stores are carrying them now?

I purchased my copy from the local B. Dalton store.  I would imagine that other
bookstores could order it if they don't have it in stock.

This is a good book, it explains a lot.  It has info that will be 
spread over 3 or 4 of the Apple manuals.  One thing it didn't have
though, was the maximum volume size in Prodos 16.  Is it still 32
megabytes?  I noticed that Apple says their 80 meg drives will work
with the Apple // family.  Will they be partitioned, or what?
