OK...I remembered to bring in my APDA catalog today Apple II High-Speed SCSI Card Utilities $30.00 Software includes SCSI Manager and device drivers for use with the following devices: hard disk, CD-ROM, scanner, tape backup. There are also ProDOS 8 utilities to partition and verify hard disks as well as a utility to backup data. You will also find a "CD-Remote" desk accessory for using audio CDs with the Apple IIGS. Disk #1 includes all software that ships with the Apple II High-Speed SCSI Card. Disk #2 contains beta versions of device drivers for the Apple Scanner and APple Tape Backup 40SC. Product class 1B (pre-release of supported product) Apple IIGS GS/OS Reference (Addison-Wesley Publishing, 528 pages) $28.95 This book replaces the GS/OS Reference Volume 1, Beta Draft previously offered by APDA. It also incorporates some information contained in the Volume 2 Beta Draft, specifically writing and installing GS/OS interrupt and signal handlers, using the Console Driver, and making GS/OS loader calls. --Dave Tribby
