FOR SALE: Apple IIGS System 6.0 CD-ROM Disc; $15/b.o. (not incl. shipping)

This CD-ROM was sent to our Macintosh users group accidentally, so
it is new/unused.

"The CD-ROM contains the Golden Master release of System 6.0, documentation
in electronic format, and a wealth of related materials. The Apple
II-related contents of the February 1992 Developer CD are also included
on this CD-ROM (providing access to System 6.0 and to Apple II Technical
Notes without swapping CD-ROMs).

"There are six partitions on this CD: five ProDOS partitions (each
one representing one of the floppies of the final product that are
needed to install System 6.0), and one HFS partition (containing all
other materials). Once you've installed the HFS FST, the HFS partition
of the CD-ROM will become visible to the Apple IIGS Finder and all
applications that properly take advantage of GS/OS.

"The first ProDOS partition is a 5 MB bootable partition representing
a superset of the normal "Install" disk and a separate folder containing
the normal contents of "Install." All of the Apple FSTs and drivers,
as well as GSBug and Nifty List,have been installed on the boot partition.

"The following is a brief overview of the major contents of the CD-ROM.
There are also goodies ticked away on the CD-ROM that aren't mentioned
here.

OPEN ME FIRST: ReadMeFirst, Complete.Index, Last Minute Stuff, Software
Licence Agreement, System 6.0 Installer.
