I can't quote a source, but I can say that traditionally, in English, all
caps refers to an anacronym. And since MAC has something it stands for,
each and every time you refer to a Macintosh as "MAC" you are in fact
refering to something other than the Macintosh computer.
And typing it as MacIntosh is just simply wrong. Look at any literature
by Apple, you will never see it with a capitol I. I think that is a throw
off from people that are typing it via the name of the fruit, which is
ALSO wrong, since the name of the fruit is McIntosh (no a).
Its just a pet peeve... I'm not going to really care if you continue to
type it MAC... but doing so shows a gross ignorance of the platform, and
really undermines any and all arguments you may have to say for or
against it. You can't really take someone seriously in discusssions of a
system if they can't refer to it correctly, as it just shows that they
have spent so little time dealing with the system, that they clearly
can't base their statements on anything educated. It doesn't matter if it
is the Mac, or if it is something else.

Well, I just looked over the shelf for Pat and see I have MP/M,
Microfocus Cobol, and Wordstar for the Altos 8000. Anyone know whether
any of these have been released to pd or under free-as-in-beer license
or anything? I will google, but I see a number of others here have Altos
machines, and thought somebody might know straight off.
Thanks,

Not required, but just for information, Mac pathnames are
traditionally colon-separated in a similar manner to Amiga
paths.

Further edification on the subject.
RQDXn is MSCP host controller with MFM hard disk interface
as well as a floppy interface for RX50 or RX33.
EDSI is a disk interface.

I hate to disappoint you, Dick, but my Intel 1979 Data Book lists the 2708
and 8708 on the same page, with the note "All 8708 specifications are
identical to the 2708 specifications", and then proceeds to describes all
he characteristics of a standard 3-rail EPROM. The 1976 book i referred to
earlier does list them in separate sections, but I don't see any
significant difference in characteristics, not even in input voltage range.
I think you're confusing it with the 2758, which the same catalog shows
right after the 2716, identical in all respects except that the 2758 has
A(R) on pin 19 instead of A10. A(R) has to be low for all device access,
even "standby" mode, except in the case of -S1865, when it has to be high.
It would appear that the 2758 is in fact a one-half-working 2716.

...providing what you're looking for is not the file needed by find.exe
itself. cf Windows' infamous message to the effect that that "one of the
files that find.exe requires is missing". This is a well-known problem
with Windows XP, at least, and there's a specific article about it on
Microsoft's website.

Humm... I'll have to check that if I go to the store tonight, I could
have sworn they list them as McIntosh Apples on the shelf tag and the
little annoying fruit stickers stuck on them.
