Re: AOL for Apple II

Drake posted this: "I saw on an eBay auction for an Apple IIc (I found the link
here in this newsgroup I believe) and it included the original AOL disk for
Apple II.

What did this version require and what all features could you use?  Is it
still available?"

And, I reply...it DID required an Apple IIgs. It no longer allows access to
AOL.  Those days are LONG GONE.  The ShrinkIt (SDK) DISK ARCHIVE of the A2 AOL
disk is available just for nostalgia and for no other reason via...

ftp://209.180.253.179/cabi/GS.Memories/AOL.GSv1.0.SDK

I arranged with AOL and the Ground Apple2 ftp site years ago to have the entire
A2 AOL archives moved to our main public access ftp site, with the help of
Rubywand and several others.

You can find them at the Apple 2 - Ground ftp mirror site...

ftp://209.180.253.179/ground/Collections/AOL/

I hope this info proves useful to your needs.

Cheers,
