Inside Mac volumes 4 and 5 are delta volumes, covering the changes and
additions found in post Classic Macs.  Volume 4 covers Mac Plus stuff,
and a great deal of the material covers HFS.  Volume 5 covers the
additions for the SE and Mac II, with a good chunk of the material
covering Color, Slot Manager, etc.  UNFORTUNATELY, the MultiFinder
stuff, which can potentially effect all post Classic Macs, is not
covered in any volume of Inside Macintosh.  Material on MultiFinder is
covered in several draft type documents (perhaps available from APDA),
but does need to eventually find its way into Inside Macintosh.

By the way, for those that didn't know, all of Inside Mac is being
rewritten, with an OS Volume, a ToolBox volume, and perhaps more.  (I
can't recall all the details.)  These new revised volumes will contain
everything in 1-5, but in a better order.
