I bought it at B. Dalton's Bookstore. $26.95. From the preface, "this book provides overviews of the architecture of Macintosh computers and detailed descriptions of the hardware components that make up these computers....Book is intended to provide background and reference information for hardware engineers designing peripheral devices for Macintosh computers and for system programmers who need an understanding of the hardware in order to optimize their code." The 2nd edition of the Apple's Numeric Manual is also now in the bookstore. -- Larry Riddle | riddle@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Emory University | {decvax,gatech}!emory!riddle UUCP Dept of Math and CS | riddle@emory NON-DOMAIN BITNET Atlanta, GA 30322 | (404) 727-7922 AT&T
