That was my "software development" setup for quite some time... going from
memory:
S7,D1 Apple II Desktop
S7,D2 Copy II+
S6,D1 Program Writer & S-C Assembler
S6,D2 Multiscribe
S5,D1 Sound Editor
S5,D2 MousePaint
Slot4 Mouse
Slot3 -
Slot2 Work Disks
Slot1 SSC
Aux Ramworks II
So, basically it was like having a small, slow and incredibly noisy hard
drive on my IIe.
If I were to do this now, I'd probably install ProTerm in S7 and get rid
of Multiscribe, CopyII+ and Apple II Desktop.
