DISK ID : 3SYS-07

WAP /// SIG PUBLIC DOMAIN LIBRARY

PDS NAME : SOS DRIVERS
DISK ID #: 3SYS-07
BOOTABLE?  Not Bootable


This disk contains many of the driver files still available for the Apple
///.  You'll need to use System Utilities (Disk 3SYS-02) and its System 
Configuration Program to create a customized SOS.DRIVER file for your
computer.

On Side Two of this disk you'll find some SOS.DRIVER files already set up for
you.  They are by no means complete and may not match the configuration you
have.  We have set them up, however, to give you a start at setting up your
system.  In any case, there are drivers on this disk that will work with many
of the devices still available (new or used) to hook up to your Apple ///.

If the SOS.DRIVER files set up on Side Two do NOT match your system
configuration needs, you can use them as the basis for putting together a
SOS.DRIVER file that will work.

If you bought your system used, the odds are excellent that the former user
has already set up his programs with a SOS.DRIVER that works with that
system.  In that case, you can use a SOS.DRIVER file from one of the boot
disks you received and use it as the basis for adding additional drivers when
you need to (for example, adding a trackball driver, graphics driver,
hard disk driver, or additional printer driver.)

For more information on how to set up your SOS.DRIVER file using the System
Configuration Program (SCP) in System Utilities, please see the file on this
disk named DRIVER.CONFIG.  If you were lucky enough to get an original set of
Apple /// manuals, there is information there as well. There is one other
source, of course: your /// SIG.  We have a number of books in the WAP
library as well as video and audio tutorial tapes available for take-out.  If
you are still having trouble, feel free to come to one of our SIG meetings,
usually held quarterly, at the WAP office.

Below is a listing of the SOS.DRIVERS on Side Two. If you decide to use one
of them, you will have to use System Utilities to rename the file (that is,
take off the number designation at the end).


SOS.DRIVER1:  .CONSOLE                    (This is the minimum required
                                           to operate an Apple ///.)
