Folks I just wanted to let you know that a key project
in computer
history that has taken a year to complete has resulted in the Apple
][ DOS source code and other key 1978 Apple documents being released
to the public (backing by Apple).
Take a look at the DigiBarn pages at:
http://www.digibarn.com/collections/business-docs/apple-II-DOS/index.html
(including last April's CNET story with a lot of background) and my
scans of many of the documents (but not the source listings)
And Len Shustek's blog entry at the Computer History Museum which
also has the actual documents and FULL SOURCE of the October 1978
delivery all converted to text and corrected at:
http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/apple-ii-dos-source-code/
Anyone out there want to help try to assemble to binary and test on
an Apple ][ or emulator?

Way to go bruce! I remember you saying that you wanted this out before the
end of the year. I'll see if I can get it to churn on the II+.
