As was announced at KansasFest and elsewhere, Syndicomm has published their entire library of licensed Apple Programmers and Developers Association (APDA) books and software on CD. This collection constitutes the bulk of Apple Computer’s public, sanctioned reference material for the Apple II series.
For years, most of this material was only available in print β some of it easy to find, while other elements were a bit more obscure. Several years ago, Syndicomm acquired the license to distribute the APDA material from ByteWorks. Syndicomm sold most of the content as hardcopy and some software as disk images for sale in downloadable form, but as convenient as this was, customers asked for moreβ¦
By popular request, the entire library has been compiled into massive, one-stop, all you can read collections. The buffet bar of Apple II knowledge is now officially open⦠OK, enough of those metaphors. The point is, all the technical manuals in a convenient, electronic searchable format are now at your disposal.
I can imagine this will make many Apple II developers who use emulators (especially on laptops) rather happy β with the APDA content and The Opus Collection, you can finally take it ALL with you.
Sheppy’s product announcement is attached.
Apple IIgs System 6.0 Golden Master CD-ROM
Price: US $25
http://store.syndicomm.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=305The Apple IIgs System 6.0 Golden Master CD-ROM was produced by Apple back when System 6.0 was completed; it contains the operating system, assorted documentation, notes, developer tools, utilities, and sample code β including code for a few pieces of the system software itself.
While the operating system included on this CD-ROM is outdated, some of the sample code and tools are still of use to Apple IIgs developers, so we’re making this CD-ROM available for interested developers.
