Apple II Troubleshooting Guide

We have just received a new book from Howard Sams:  Apple II+/IIe Troubleshooting & Repair Guide, by Robert C. Brenner.  At a glance, it looks like quite a good introduction to the Apple hardware and its potential problems.  The first chapter is Basic Troubleshooting, followed by three chapters on Description, Operations, and Specific Troubleshooting for the II Plus, three more similar chapters on the //e, and two chapters on Preventive Maintenance and Advanced Trouble- shooting.  Here's a quote from the Introduction:

!lm+2
!rm-2
This book is a detailed troubleshooting and repair document.  It is not a treatise on basic computer theory or a discussion of chip operation, registers, busses, and logic gates.  It is an all "meat and potatoes" manual to enable the computer user to repair his or her own machine in those 95 percent of circumstances where knowledge and a good reference are enough to find and repair a failure.

List price of the Troubleshooting & Repair Guide is $19.95.  Our price will be $18 + shipping.


Apple //e Reference Manual Source

We have located a mail- or phone-order source for the Apple manuals!  A reader in New York City phoned to let us know that the McGraw-Hill Bookstore there carries the Apple publications.  Apparently the bookstore is also a computer store and an Apple Dealer.  The address is McGraw-Hill Bookstore, 1221 Sixth Ave., New York, NY 10020.  The phone number is (212) 512-4100.
