I recall speaking with "John" at Vista about
driver issues on my Apple
IIe. Is that who you're referring to, perhaps?
It is really aggravating when folks "purge" this type of information.
For the love-of-Mike, how much trouble is it to run off a tape or burn
it to a DVD? The same thing happened to most of Applied Engineering's
technical docs when they went Chapter 11. Everything went into the
dumpster.

John sounds like the guy I'm thinking of.
I have personally been around during some of these times, and that
explains my containers and boxes full of stuff. Vista's assets were
sold, not discarded, according to Tom, I asked. This was a real
"wayback" question for him, but he was sure the documents and
engineering stuff was sold. They bought the Kaypro assets for instance
and that was all sold including documentation, both at ACP and at some
auctions, so I am pretty sure he is right that someone would have
purchased whatever stuff the Vista engineering group had.
Also, since this "John" I'm speaking of was a contractor, he probably
had the real scoop on the documents. I was more into their PC to SASI /
SCSI combo board and talked him out of documentation and drawings of
that board, but not the other vista stuff.
