Okay. Before I get whipped for not paying attention, my apologies :) I just received a copy of ShrinkIt (thanks and a tip of the cap to Vernon Williams) but found to my dismay (and embarassment) that I need an enhanced //e to run it (65c02 with mousetext). Knowing that I should have known better (I mean really...) and asking the net-Gods for forgiveness, I will again ask the FAQ (drum roll, please!): What do I need to enhance my lowly ][e to a //e both in materials, and procedures (I'm already hip to the need for a 65c02 chip)? Backround - 128K ][e with Duo-Drive, 80 column card (x-tra 64K there) and Grappler+ Since I don't wish to burn extra bandwidth here, please e-mail replies. Thanx in advance! ********************************************************************** Larry Seals @ Trailing Edge Software - "When it doesn't have to be the very best!"

Once these chips are installed, your Apple IIe will be functionally identical to a late-model IIe, and therefore compatible with such goodies as MultiScribe, Publish-It, ProTERM, etc. Up here in Canada, the Enhancement kit is available for the everyday ripoff price of $100 CDN (approx $86 US). You should be able to get it for much less. UUCP: lsuc!graham!pnet91!sb INET: sb@pnet91.cts.com
