Apple Manuals from Addison-Wesley...................Bill Morgan

Those elusive Apple technical manuals are finally coming out of hiding!  As we reported some months ago, Addison-Wesley is beginning to distribute Apple's manuals, and we can now supply them for you.  The ones we have seen are at least as good as Apple's own editions, and in some cases better.

Here are the titles that we can order for you:

Apple //e Technical Reference manual - $24.95, 409+xxxii pages.  Here's Apple's documentation of all the internals of the //e, including I/O devices and firmware, memory organi- zation, the System Monitor, peripheral-card programming, the Super Serial Card, and hardware implementation.  The new edition includes all the new features of the Enhanced //e and a complete source listing of the ROMs.  This book is essential for serious //e programming.

Apple //c Technical Reference Manual - $24.95.  And here is the same detailed coverage of the //c, and more.  Additional topics documented in this book are the built-in serial I/O ports, the mouse input, and interrupt handling.  If you want to use these features of the //c, get this book.

ProDOS Technical Reference Manual- $29.95, 186+xvii pages, disk.  This is the official book on ProDOS, covering files, MLI calls, System programs, interrupt handling, and more.  The disk is the ProDOS Exerciser, which allows you to experiment with all of the MLI calls without writing special programs.  This book completes a ProDOS programmer's reference shelf, along with Beneath Apple ProDOS, and Apple ProDOS: Advanced Features.

The //e manual was scheduled for July publication:  we just received it and the ProDOS manual today.  The //c manual is scheduled for November delivery:  we'll accept orders and ship the book as soon as A-W comes through.

Many thanks to Apple and to Addison-Wesley for making these important documents so easily available.
