Re: History of Apple II

[buggie@ben16.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

Do you have 3.5" disk-reading ability, or can you read only 5.25" disks?

I'll send you the big series, APPLE II HISTORY by long-gone Apple II
expert, Tom Weischer.  Its on just one 3.5" disk, or on four 5.25" disks,
both side.

Many readers of this group are familiar with APPLE II HISTORY.  But the
last installment was finished, c1992.   Could someone write ANOTHER
CHAPTER on the Apple II developments that occurred after TW finished his
final chapter?

I nominate either JOE KOHN or MAX JONES to write it; come on!   Steve B
