Oops!  Looks like some stuff got mixed up... 

I don't believe either of the problems you mentioned were present in
the "final draft."  I imagine some quick changes were made just before
the book went to press, and some mixup occurred.

As a reviewer for both the new Guide to Macintosh Family Hardware and
the new Designing Cards and Drivers book, I can assure you that the
writers were *very* conscientious, and made every effort to assure that
the information was accurate and up to date.

Please e-mail me any other problems you find -- I'll forward them to
the proper people in tech pubs, to help resolve any errors for future
revisions!  I'll watch for followups as well, but it's easier for me
to forward mail.
