Pass.  I'm using Apple's external SuperDrive with mine, and don't know
if any third-party external Mac drives will work.

> (2) Will it read existing 800K ProDOS disks?

Yes.  I've discovered a couple of disks that seem to have errors when
read in the SuperDrive, but not in a normal drive.  They're rather old
disks, though.

Yes, as well as 1.44MB ones.

> (4) Will it read existing 720K IBM disks (perhaps via MS-DOS FST)?

Yes, but it can't format them (for some reason the option to format
720k is provided in the list, but has been dimmed).

I've used it from my PC Transporter to read and write 720k and 1.44MB
MS-DOS disks.  I can't format 720k disks, but 1.44 ones work
beautifully.


One problem is that some software (including FTA stuff) expects that
you're using the built-in drive port, and won't work with the
SuperDrive.  My solution was to put the SuperDrive card into slot 6,
and keep my old 3.5" drive connected to the IIgs's built-in drive port.

Anything using ProDOS-8, ProDOS-16 or GS/OS should be fine.

I haven't tried using 400k disks with the SuperDrive (I don't have very
many!)

different.

I don't think you can take a 21-bit (3x7 bits/char) ASCII string and
jam it into a 16-bit string.  MSDOS allows more than just letters in
their filenames, they allow almost everything printable.  Someone
will know exactly which characters are allowed and which aren't, I
don't know.

In the Steve Wozniak interview at Kansasfest, Woz claimed that the RWTS

Randy Hyde produced a commented disassembly of DOS 3.3 many years ago, which
he sold as DOSOURCE. The trick would be to find a copy.....! Does anyone
know if Randy (and/or Lazer Micro Systems) is still around?

The ByteWorks _Programmer's Reference For System 6.0_ is *the* official
programmer documentation for System 6.

It supercedes the ERSs releases on the System 6 CD.  When there are
discrepencies between the two, believe the Programmer's Reference!

The ByteWorks documentation started with the ERSs from the CD.  Then
Mike Westerfield edited it, and Apple people reviewed his drafts and
made extensive comments that he integrated into the finished product.

Along the way we put in lots of clarifications and some corrections.

If you're writing software for 6.0, the programmer's reference is a
must-have.  (You can indeed think of it as Volume 4 of the GS Toolbox
Reference, but it covers much more than the toolbox.)

  There is also a free print buffer enlarger for the IIgs.  I don't
know where to get it exactly, but try all the FTP and archive sites.
It lets you expand the printer and modem buffers up to 32K (and the
IIgs auto-spools from this buffer when you have 'buffering' turned
on in the control panel).

I have not seen the answer in any of the documentation that I have read
but does anyone know if it is possible to have a volume size that is
greater than 32 megabytes without using the HFS FST? Since GS/OS has its
own calls can they be used to open files on a big volume without using
the ProDOS FST? It appears from the documentation that files on a disk
can only be accessed through one of the FSTs installed on the system.

Yes, it is possible, and yes there is a program to do it.  It is called Express and is published by Seven Hills Software.  It is GS specific and runs under GS/OS, and does just what you need.  It is comparable to all the expensive print spoolers for the MAC, and it is only $29.95 from Seven Hills.  Check out a copy of Incider and look for it in the ads.

  Apparently there's a compatibility problem between Zbasic and the IIgs
ROM version 01. The game runs fine under an enhanced Apple //e, //c, //c+
and (I'm fairly sure) the Apple IIgs ROM 03. (The ROM 03 was made more 
compatible with the older IIe btw).

  I have both a ROM 01 and ROM 3, so I'll try and test the game fully on
both machines (unfortunately all the author has is an Apple //c).

MS-DOS text files are almost compatible with Apple IIgs ones.  The
only difference is that the lines are terminated with CR/LF instead of
CR only.  They also tend use use TAB characters a lot more.  I don't
know what the ORCA/C compiler would do with line feed characters, as it
is written in Pascal.  (APW C would ignore them.)

Even if the compiler could handle the source files, it still wouldn't
be a good idea to use the ORCA/C file type, since the source code
might use special features of its own C compiler, or include files
which aren't available under ORCA.  #include lines might also contain
backslash characters.
There are quite a few potential problems, and I think it is safer to
require the filetype to be changed manually, after the file has been
checked for PC idiosyncracies.

HELLO, I"m an Apple IIGS user, and a novice on USENET. I am trying to 
figure out how to reconstitute files posted in the Group 
COMP.BINARIES.APPLE2. My Sysop isn't sure what I need to do, or if there 
is a program I need to run in order to do this, so he suggested I post 
an inquirey this way. I have SHRINKIT, but I don't think it is used for 
USENET binaries. Please enlighten me on what I should do.
Sincerely,
CSHANK

Does anyone know where I can find a screen saver type utility for the apple //c computer? Some FTP site?

Thanks in advance...
