With all the enthusiasm I've been seeing here lately for the French IIGS
book, I've been wondering...

Ever since I got my GS about 3 years ago, I've been poking around in the
ROMS (and the "Macintosh Family Hardware Reference"--you'd be suprised
what you can learn about the GS from the Mac reference manuals...), and
have learned a few Things Apple Never Told You about accessing the GS
hardware from programs.

I think I've probably got enough material for three or four long (and
rather technical) posts about various bits of the GS.  Is there any interest
out there in this stuff?  Should I go to the trouble to write it up and
post it?

Potential subjects:

     Controlling the Battery RAM/Clock Chip
     The Keyboard/Mouse/ADB Interface
     Controlling the Apple 3.5 Drive
     Trapping Control-Apple-Reset, and other naughty Memory Manager tricks
