- Bob Consorti of ON Three Inc. has the complete Apple /// tech manual
- for sale. I bought one and find it rather handy. Unfortunately I
- don't have his phone number handy.
-
- There are a few Washington Apple Pi members here that may also have info
- you can use.
-
- Check with Sun Remarketing at 800-821-3221.

- The only system other than DOS 3.3 that I could run under the Apple ][+
- emulation was the run-time version of Pascal from the Wizardry disk.
-
- Titan Inc. built a pair of cards that formed a 128k Apple //e emulation kit.
- I purchased the kit some 4 years ago from Sun Remarketing. I believe this
- kit will be very difficult to find now. Shreve Systems in Louisiana might
- have this. Otherwise you'll have to do a lot of searching.

-
- I've made several upgrades and repairs to my /// and will not trade it for
- a clone or a Mac. I added an Amiga to it, but still use /// EZ Pieces
- (Apple Works) for the DataBase and Spread Sheet and the Word Processor for
- page layout. I use Apple Writer /// v4 as my preferred text editor.
-
- Apple ///: 512k on the motherboard, 128k on the //e emulator, UniDisk 3.5,
- and highly recommend everything ON Three Inc. has produced.
