It seems that the Apple > does come in quite some different configurations:-) Okay, the Apple2 universe consists of several hardware platforms as well as several OS platforms: - The oldest Apple2 are the ][ / ][+ with a 6502 and typically 48k to 64k. It typically runs Apple DOS 3.3 (or less common ProDOS 8). - The most widely used Apple2 is the (enhanced) Apple //e with a 65C02 and typically 64k to 128k. It runs Apple DOS 3.3 or ProDOS 8. - The latest Apple2 is the Apple // GS with some 65816-like CPU. It natively runs GS/OS for GUI, memory management etc. and ProDOS 16 for disk access. It can boot into an 8 bit emulation mode running Apple DOS 3.3 or ProDOS 8. > > For example the dio_get_file_info() you proposed in another mail could have > > a hard time making it into the cc65 C library - even if it already exists > > for the Atari. > > dio_get_file_info doesn't exist for the Atari.

Anyway your recent post made things very clear...and it's generally a good idea to leave describing a point of view to the owner ;-) Oliver ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Wed Jul 28 16:55:37 2004
