21) Whats Where in the Apple
A Complete Guide to the Apple Computer Micro Ink
*THIS* one is practically worth its weight in gold! Although all of the
information in it can be found in many places, no other single
publication is a more in-depth reference to every aspect of the Apple
II's memory map. Prof. Luebbert did an EXCELLENT job of pulling together
about a zillion pieces of information, from god-only-knows-how-many
sources. Those who have a "real" copy of it (and the knowledge to put it
to use properly) probably won't part with it for love nor money. Those
who want a copy would almost certainly leap at the chance to get even a
xerox, particularly if it's one of the later "With Apple IIe addendum"
editions.
I believe there are actually three editions. I thought I owned all
three, but digging around I can only find one (blue cover).
The only one I ever personally laid eyes on (and ended up developing a
case of "sticky fingers" for... I'm a SUCH terrible criminal...) was in
an orange/gold-ish colored cover. It spent several days sitting on top
of a filing cabinet in the (All IBM PC - Go figure!) computer lab at the
community college I was attending. When it didn't move for most of a
week, it "mysteriously" found its way into my backpack. :)
Unfortunately, it was one of MANY Apple II items that got left behind
due to lack of room when I made the jump from Florida to Arizona - Along
with a complete, perfectly functional, tricked-out-to-beyond-ridiculous
//e, a full "commercial developer" licensed copy of Manx Aztec C,
ProTerm, AppleWorks, Merlin-PRO, more books and reference material than
I can even try to list, literally thousands of 5.25" and 3.5" disks
loaded with everything from pirated games to code I had written for
dozens of purposes, a 20 meg SCSI drive that was my "main working
drive", and loaded to the hilt with software and data... <sigh>
All told, at least half a dozen Chiquita banana boxes worth of "stuff"
besides the computer and monitor got left behind for whoever occupied
the place next. I'd like to think that they put it to use, but I expect
the more likely scenario was that all of it ended up on the curb on
trash day. :-(
