So far the remaining recommended mail order companies for the Apple II are:
LRO Computer sales - 1 vote
Programs Plus - 1 vote
Quality Computers - 1 vote
-any more votes for or against what we have here?
-any other recommendations?
Still looking for GSMODEM port code. J. Snow?? Actually, I'm mostly
interested in HOW it works. I wish to learn.

I've ordered a number of things from them and have yet to be disappointed, either in the product or the service. I've also had experience with Programs Plus and rate them OK as well.

One vote for TMS Peripherals. They support the II series (my TMS Pro105 came preformatted with GS/OS). Their HD prices can't be beat by any other companies that advertise for the Apple II. Brendan G.

However, >whethey did finally find it, they sent it to me federal express for the >price of UPS ground. Pretty much the same story here... I ordered a RAMFast, they said that it was in stock. After about 3 weeks, I called them up and they said that they weren't in stock at that time, but they'd send it Fed Ex, which they did. Later, I ordered a GS-Sauce card and got that on time. Even though they don't seem to be sure whether or not stuff is in stock or not, I still think they're a pretty good place... >> Programs Plus - 1 vote >I ordered an AE 800k drive from these folks and it arrived the next day :-). Yup, I ordered a modem and Orca/M from them, and got it the next day. I'll probably buy software from them, since other places are cheaper for hardware. >> Quality Computers - 1 vote Never tried them... >= R.

One vote for Programs Plus, I have been dealing with them for 4 years and have never had any difficulties with them, despite having a couple of returns (the copy protection on Elite was so heavy it was hit or miss which one would work on any given machine, but PP replaced it no questions asked) One vote against Triad (if they are still in business), never got a return code for a defective IW II buffer card, had to go to Orange Micro for replacement.
