Hi all,
Played again with my Apple //e this afternoon - a lot of fun as always,
and wish I could find the time more often. I even got MacADT to run in
Classic on OS X with a Mini-iDock USB to serial converter on my 17" G4
PowerBook.
One question, though - the 3 key has both the # and British pound signs
on them, and when Shift-3 is pressed, it's the British pound sign which
is shown. Is there any way to get the # to display? The Apple //e model
# is A2S2064.
Thanks
Sean
PS Never knew the hash symbol was also known as an octothorpe - found
