    Apple Computer So That BEX Can Recognize and Work with Them

    BEX INTERFACE GUIDE How To Use This Manual The Interface Guide explains how to connect a variety of devices to your Apple computer so that BEX can recognize and work with them. Some devices are standard items that are designed for and sold in the mainstream computer marketplace. Other devices are specialized sensory aids for the blind. Raised Dot Computing provides detailed interfacing information to fully support its software products. The Interface Guide does not attempt to explain how the Apple computer or other devices work; refer to your Owner's Manual for that information. The first three Sections provide basic background concepts: read these to obtain an overview of the interfacing process. Section 5, the Interface Cookbook, provides quick recipes for each interface: what sort of interface card and cable is required, and, when appropriate, how to set switches on the external device. Section 6 provides a basic understanding of controlling the Super Serial Card, Apple IIc ports and Apple IIgs ports. Section 14 provides wiring diagrams and RDC code numbers for all the cables mentioned in the Interface Guide. The remaining Sections address specific devices in more detail. Raised Dot Computing publishes the monthly RDC Newsletter in print, audio, and disk formats. We publish updates and corrections to interfacing information in the Newsletter. Your BEX purchase includes a complimentary one-year subscription: please return your registration card to start your subscription. If you have worked out a new interface, please provide us with the details so we can share it with others.

White collection on Common Lisp contains material relating to the development and standardization of the programming language Common Lisp and, more generally, the Lisp family of programming languages. Records date from 1963 to 2012, with the bulk of the material ranging from 1978 to 1995, when White was working at MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), Lucid, and Harlequin Group. Throughout many of these positions, White was serving on the X3J13 Committee to formalize a Common Lisp standard, which aimed to combine and standardize many previous dialects of Lisp. This collection consists of conference proceedings, manuals, X3J13 Committee correspondence and meeting minutes, notebooks, technical papers, and periodicals documenting White’s work in all of these roles. Other dialects of Lisp--especially MAClisp--are also major focuses of the collection.
