 ====================================================
   BlueDisk Ordering Information: Terms And Pricing
 ====================================================
 
 BlueDisk package contents:
 --------------------------
 
 - Interface Card (works in Apple IIe enhanced or Apple IIGS without
 modification).
 
 - English Manual  (20 pages packed with information).
 
 - Utilities Disk containing
 GS/OS Driver, GS/OS Driver Installer script, Drive Installation Tester,
 special BlueDisk ProDOS 8 Formatter (including MSDOS FORMAT in the near
 future), BlueDisk Icons, R/W test program.
 
 - Special feature included with the utilities disk: MS-DOS-Tools (v2.2 or
 later) by Peter Watson. This is a well known utility package you can use
 to handle your MS-DOS files (read and write) on the Apple IIGS. You even
 can create MS-DOS formatted diskettes for use on a MS-DOS machine. Your
 BlueDisk purchase comprises shareware payment to Peter Watson. In other
 words: every BlueDisk owner is a legitimate user of this shareware
 package at no additional cost (agreement between Peter Watson and SHH
 Systeme, valid for BlueDisk ROM v1.0 and higher).
 
 Note 1: BlueDisk is ready for operating with a low-cost QIC-80 compatible
 floppy tape streamer. No hardware modifications need to be made for using
 a tape drive, only additional software will be required.
 
 Note 2: a cable is not included, because it doesn't make sense shipping a
 heavy cable by air mail, it would shift the price level for about $15
 (cable plus extra shipping charges). We have chosen to offer you the
 lower pricing. Any low cost standard PC type floppy disk cable can be
 used with no problems, and you can buy it around the corner at your local
 PC dealer. In addition, the cable layout is described in the manual.
 
 
 Warranty and Support:
 ---------------------
 
 - One year limited warranty on parts and labour. Thirty days money back
 guarantee (on the card's value)
 
 - Free support via the GEnie A2 Bulletin Board (category 46, topic 12)
 
 - Software updates also available via the GEnie A2 library and via our
 U.S. resident beta testers.
 
 
 BlueDisk Pricing (varies due to Dollar exchange rate):
 -------------------------------------------------------
 
 Pricing for overseas orders (shipping is via standard air mail for
 overseas orders):
 
 -  one package     US $139  plus  $14  shipping/handling
 -  two packages    US $135  each  plus  $19  shipping/handling
 -  three packages  US $135  each  plus  $22  shipping/handling
 
 (for orders from Canada add an extra US $4 for s/h,
 for orders from Australia, Asia and all other countries add US $8 for
 s/h)

 Payment:
 --------
 
 All orders must be prepaid. We accept payment by cash, check, travellers
 check or money order (American or German currency) and payment via post
 office. If payment is not by cash, an additional fee of US $12 (DM 20) is
