Nice job on the FAQ. It's needed and appreciated.

Perhaps people can provide the titles of CdRoms
intended for other platforms (other than discPassage
Cds) that contain items of use or interest to the
Apple2 community. Things like TrueType fonts, graphics,
source code, sounds, text (books), etc.

Real Examples:

Title: Shareware Breakthrough for Macintosh
Published: 1993
Publisher: MEI Micro Center
Address: ?? have it somewhere...
Cost: $9.95
Format: HFS
A2 Interest: TrueType Fonts
Problems: None

Title: Develop (almost any issue)
Published: #19 is September 94
Publisher: Apple Computer
Address: ?? have it somewhere...
Cost: $30 for 4 issues (1 year subscription), $10 back issue
Format: HFS
A2 Interest: develop issues 1-8(?) carried Apple2 articles
and source code. Subsequent issues carry all contents of previous
issues (get #9, includes 1-9).
Problems: None

Title: Toolkit for LINUX
Published: August 1994
Publisher: Walnut Creek
Address: Suite 260, 1547 Palos Verdes Mall, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
Cost: $19.95
Format: ISO 9660 with Rock Ridge Extensions
A2 Interest: Unix clone for Intel machines, contains a great deal
of C source code suitable for porting.
Problems: Much is stored with Unix compress, shar, tar, etc.
