I noticed quite a number of errors, incorrect or outdated information
myself, not to mention missing or vage facts. However, after reading the
entire FAQ through, I'd be more tempted to re-write most of it from scratch
than trying to polish up the existing text. I'm probably being a bit too
picky though. :)
One area which bugs me, is the lack of detailed Apple IIgs information
in the csa2.FAQ. For this reason, I would be interested in writing up a
IIgs mini FAQ of sorts. It would have a _very_ detailed list of differences
between the ROM 00, ROM 01 and ROM 3 revisions (a question which has come
up quite often), a history of updates, a look at System Software from past
to present, description of the hardware inside, etc. If anyone has any
objection to this, please let me know...
