The Red Book was an "internal" document, (at
the time) available only
to Apple engineers and a few select dealers. IIRC, it was written by
Woz as a reference for Apple's engineering dept. Someone (Dr. Tom of
comp.sys.apple2 fame (or infamy, depending on your POV)) recently
scanned the entire thing and posted it on his website. If you're
interested, I'll see if I can dig up the URL and post it here.
There was a "user manual" for the Apple ][ published in January 1978.
It was 8.5x11, had a red cover, and was shipped with every Apple ][
until the newer manuals appeared. This was referred to as the
"Red Book". It was in no way an "internal document".
There may well have been some *other* document called a Red Book, but
I don't think that's what this thread is about.
