I bought a IIgs a few weeks ago, and now that the semester (and associated class projects) is winding down, I'll actually have time to play with it. My first game will be called "Spend Money on Add-Ons." You can help me play by answering a few questions: (Actually, I've asked these before, but I didn't get a single reply. Is anyone getting this?) 1) Any recommendations on IIgs ram cards? I know AE has been really pushing their card(s). Any other good choices (besides Apple)? 2) What's the current status of development software (languages, etc.)? Apparently TML Pascal is (or will soon be) available for the IIgs. Anyone have any experience with it? (I can add some info here - Kyan Software will be releasing their Kyan Pascal for the IIgs in the first quarter of next year, along with a gs-specific version of KIX, a UNIX-like command shell. They are also working on a gs C compiler.) 3) Will my PCPI AppliCard function correctly in the gs? I've heard rumors that some CP/M cards won't, and my dealer doesn't have any info on the AppliCard. 4) Any whiz-bang, must-have sorts of software packages that anyone would care to recommend? How about hardware gizmos? 5) Will ProDOS 16 ever be available? As usual, I'll summarize to the net any interesting tid-bits I receive. Many thanks. ------------------------------ Lester McCann Univ. of Wisc. CS Department ARPA: g-mccann@gumby.WISC.EDU USENET:..!{allegra,harvard,ihnp4,seismo,topaz}!uwvax!gumby!g-mccann
