Re: Where can I find the FAQ for the Apple //gs?

With 512k, you aren't going to get very far.  You need some more RAM to hold
System 6.0.1 and some extras (NDA's, INITs, CDA's)  I think 2 megabytes is
the smallest *I* could work with.

Prodos 8   2.03    formats 3.5" drives fine.  Maybe you have a bad disk or
disk drive?  When you say it won't format, what error does it give you, or
what happens when you try to format?



I don't know of any IIgs FAQ.

Some good softwares to take advantage of the IIgs are:

System 6.0.1
NDAs, CDA's, Inits
Platinum Paint, Paintworks Gold     Graphics/paint programs
Apple Works GS (database, spread sheet, paint, wordprocessing)
Graphic Writer III (desktop publishing)
Synthlab    (music program)
GSCII+       Decode programs when you download them
SHRINKIT     decode programs
Wolf 3D        AWESOME game for the GS

Email me if you have specific questions about programs (I've spend *hours*
downloading and trying out different System addons)

Sincerely,
Sandy
