Quite legit. I got mine from APDA last week. Finder is now at v1.1
(big deal - looks the same to me). New tool sets including ACE (Audio
Compression and Expansion) and other sound stuff. Docs also tell how
to use the new sets. Old sets have been updated (read: debugged).
They've done some cute stuff to speed up booting somewhat. They claim
to kill off 8-10 seconds. Since I don't use my 3.5" to boot, I
wouldn't know - hard disk booting is pretty quick. Prodos 8 and 16 are
now at version 1.6 (dated June 88). Basic.system is at 1.2. If you
have APW, it is a good idea to also get the interfaces updated. One
can buy v1.0.1 of the interfaces for $10 each for C and assembler.
Note that the software itself is still at 1.0, so those who have 1.0
don't need to buy the $30 update to 1.0.1 as the only new stuff will
be the interfaces.

I believe that the 3.2 update is $18.50 or thereabouts.
