It has no service procedures, parts lists, schematics or electrical data for the Macintosh; Apple's repair documentation is in [[:Category:Apple Service Source]]. The hosted scan runs from the title page to the back cover but leaves out the blank pages, so the PDF has 301 pages against the book's printed numbering. == Related titles on this wiki == * [[Introduction to Macintosh Basic 1984]] * [[Basic Microsoft Basic For The Macintosh 1985]] <pdf> File:Advanced_Macintosh_BASIC_Programming_1985.pdf </pdf> Download: [[:File:Advanced_Macintosh_BASIC_Programming_1985.pdf|Advanced_Macintosh_BASIC_Programming_1985.pdf]] == References == <references /> [[Category:Apple Programming Documentation]]
