Until such time as an updated list appears in the FAQ, I'll use this as yet
another excuse to post my personal Apple II FTP site list.  This list is
fairly current--I personally verified most of the sites within the last
month (the ones I couldn't reach are marked with a question mark).

Acutally, I'm a bit confused...for quite a while the FAQ has been using a
version of my list, but recent versions of the FAQ seem to be regressing to
increasingly older versions of the list.  (If "husc6.harvard.edu" reappears
in the FAQ, then we've come the full circle...)

Comments, suggestions, additions, deletions, etc. are welcome.

This list does not include empty directories or directories containing
only "useless" files.  Also unlisted are sites containing only the
comp.sys.apple2 FAQ and sites having only Apple II emulators for other
computers (the latter are unlisted mostly because I haven't gotten around
to inspecting the sites yet).

THE BIG SEVEN (All the shareware, freeware, & PD ware you could possibly want)
=============
Site name                Directory
---------                ---------
apple2.archive.umich.edu /archive/apple2
brownvm.brown.edu (*)    LISTSERV.193
cco.caltech.edu          /pub/apple2 (mostly GS, but some non-GS)
f.ms.uky.edu             /pub/appleII
grind.isca.uiowa.edu     /apple2
plains.nodak.edu         /pub/apple2
wuarchive.wustl.edu      /systems/apple2, /usenet/comp.binaries.apple2

(*) Files on brownvm.brown.edu are stored by serial number.  For a human-
readable directory, send e-mail with the text "INDEX APPLE2-L" to
listserv@brownvm.brown.edu.

Mirrors:  ftp.uu.net mirrors apple2.archive.umich.edu under /systems/apple2
          wuarchive.wustl.edu mirrors apple2.archive.umich.edu under
               /mirrors4/apple2
          samba.acs.unc.edu mirrors wuarchive.wustl.edu under /pub/wuarchive
          grind.isca.uiowa.edu mirrors just about everybody.
