Phil, Apple has just released the latest TECH NOTES to user groups across
the country. The information you mention above is included in the tech notes.
I suggest you contact your local users group, and copy the tech notes you
want. They are allowed to be copied by Apple. Other than that, you could
subscribe to the tech notes through APDA, then you will have some of the
good stuff you desire. You will also be able to purchase GSOS through APDA
shortly, and the version they sell will have information for developers rather
than the hand holding manual that the dealers offer for sale.
