If the name is printed on the machine (as is normally the case),
then use that version! :)
I just got one of mine off the shelf and the lid of the case is
labelled "apple ][ plus", without even a capital 'A' as the curve of
the lower case 'a' fits into the bite in the apple logo. I think the
titles on the cover of the four main manuals also said "][" on them,
but I have not checked them.
I can't actually remember what they were all for, there was the main
reference manual with the circuit diagram in the back which was very
useful for the odd machine which misbehaved when first delivered
before being shipped to customers - in several instances I traced IC
leads which had missed their sockets which were either bent
underneath or down the side.
There was a manual for DOS 3.3 and its utilities .
I think there was an Applesoft manual.
I can't remember what the other one was. It was not integer Basic, I
never saw a manual for that.
Of course there were the also manuals for UCSD Pascal, but they
weren't one of the main four.
