If the computer can read the ROM, so can you...

Anybody out there remember the original "Apple II Technical Manual"?  The
"dumbing down" of textbooks is a popular topic among educators in California;
it seems to be the main drive of Apple computer.  For those who don't
remember, this one brief book had complete monitor ROM source listings
(pasted directly from a dot-matrix printer), pinouts for the slots, game
controler, etc., schematics of various things... even the original DOS 3.3
manual had schematics for the 20-pin connector.  No longer.

Now everybody gets treated like a Macintosh owner (never mind how it works.
If it beeps at you, pay us $$$ and we'll make it better.)
