The range of memory dump contains the ROM information, which is actually in the CD ROM (~$C000 to $DFFF) and the EF ROM ($E000 to $FFFF). This contains the Monitor as well as Applesoft BASIC. As these are copyrighted by Apple, and since Apple is very protective of copying their ROM's, such as by clone makers, I think that uploading this information, especially to usenet, would be unwise. -- -dave ==================================================================== David Robins, M.D. (ophthalmologist / electronics engineer) Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Foundation (previously known as: Smith-Kettlewell Institute of Visual Sciences) 2232 Webster St; San Francisco CA 94115 415/561-1705 (voice) {ihnp4,qantel,dual}!ptsfa!ski!dr The opinions expressed herein do not reflect the opinion of the Institute!
