Thanks to Lorraine, I'm now the proud owner of an Apple ///.  That should be
a nice companion to my II Plus and Mac.  To get myself started however, I need
important pieces of software and information on this babe.  So I'm looking
for the full Apple /// Pascal, the Apple II Emulation Mode software (I think
there's a IIe emulation software but it's not by Apple) and the Apple ///
Business Basic.  I also need a communication program to allow the Apple ///
to be linked to the Mac via a serial link so I can perform file transfers.
Since I'm totally new to the Apple /// world, I'd like suggestions on turning
this wonderful machine into something that a longtime Apple II user can
feel comfortable with (like the good old APple II monitor or Macsbug).

I'm wondering if file archives still exist for the Apple /// (I'll need a 
terminal program in the first place).  How about user groups or newsletters
devoted to the ///?  What about recommended books for techies?

Lastly, I wonder if the DB25 connector for the RS232 is standard?  I still
have acouple of spare Apple II cards like a Microsft Softcard.  Wonder if
it can be used safely on the /// (how about the hardware differences)?  And
can I hook the Apple /// directly to an ImageWriter II?  How to I really
tell the amount of memory in my ///?
