Re: please help with Apple //gs

["Cleveland" <tccleveland@email.msn.com>]

Thank you Kim, I had not yet seen that link....
Thank you all! This group has been a wonderful help the past few days, all
the private emails and posts have got me tinkering in the right places, and
I am beginning to get somewhere. Now that I have an idea of what I'm doing
the hard drive option doesn't sound too bad... (plus it's only $60 for the
HD and System 6 <s>) Again, Thank you all, you're all doing a wonderful job!

    If you head over to
http://www.educate.net.au/~apple2/manuals/index.html,
    you will find an online conversion of the manuals for your computer. I
did
    the conversion for people like yourself.

    Hope this helps you with your GS.
