A couple of weeks ago, I discovered this Apple II FlashROM card while 
researching what¹s new and unique for the Apple II computers. I converted
two of the three disk image files into ShrinkIt disk archives (SDK) for
use on the REAL Apple II machines.  The third disk image ŒFLASHDISK.dsk¹
could not be accessed for conversion to a real Apple II disk for archiving
in the ShrinkIt disk archive format.

This folder contains the following;

A28fxxx.dsk
A28fxxx.SDK
(both renamed from the original name: 28fxxx)

FLASH.SRC 
(a folder containing standard ASCII text file conversions of all the 
original binary source code filesfrom the two disks - FLASHSOURCE and
A28fxxx. I renamed the second disk from 28fxxx to A28fxxx to allow ProDOS
and GS/OS to load, access and deal with the disk name. Both are in DOS 3.3
and are bootable.)

I¹m sure the readers of this issue of GS WorldView will be impressed with 
this new find of hardware and software for use on their A2 computers. I certainly
was. My special thanks go to the author, programmer and designer, RedSkull for
freely providing it all to the general public and to the  Apple II community.
