The cool things you might find in the warehouse (1979 internal Apple memo)
by Adam Michlin 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

Hi Everyone, We found this working in the warehouse. Thanks go out to Jason Perkins for scanning it and uploading it to the Internet Archive (how would we ever do our jobs without them?) https://archive.org/details/apple-memo-reset-vector We're really wondering if it was truly an internal only memo or if it was an internal memo that was copied and sent out to the dealers, though. We posted the first page to the Apple II Enthusiasts Facebook group and no one did the typical "Meh... ", so who knows? Best wishes, -Adam
