o If you experience unexplained data corruption during modem connections, perhaps your telephone is the culprit? Some early models of the Telecom Touchfone 200 connected to the same phone line as your modem will cause interference after approximately 20 minutes. This occurs because the Touchfone draws current from the line to recharge the memory retention capacitor. Of the three suggested "fixes", getting Telecom to install a "Current Sharing Module" (SI 311/269) on the same extension as your modem seems to be the best answer. You can of course disconnect the Touchfone from the line while you use your modem, but remember that its memory only lasts for two hours. More details are available from the Open Information section of the Filing Cabinet on the AUG Apple // BBS.
o APDA (USA) has discontinued supplying Apple // products. This role has been picked up by Resource-Central. We have been assured by Chris Nelligan, Secretary of AAPDA (Australia) that AAPDA will continue to supply Apple // products. AAPDA also holds developer meetings (Apple // and Mac) on the first Wednesday of each month, 6:30pm at Apple Australia, 16 Rodborough Rd Frenchs Forest.
o At least Dave Lyons still has a sense of humour. This is Dave's reply to yet another article on the System 6.0 release date. The article said "System 6.0 should be available by the time you read this".

o The Apple SuperDrive and Apple II 3.5" Disk Controller Card will be available soon and hopefully will be demonstarted at the March Apple IIgs meeting.
o At the February Apple IIgs meeting we had a demonstration of GraphicWriter III. This desktop publishing program looks very impressive, easy to use, and it's fast! It is apparently a major improvement on earlier versions. If only I could use it for the Apple // section of the magazine.... GraphicWriter III is available from II Series Software.
