What it covers

[edit | edit source]

An introduction to Macintosh Pascal. The scan opens with a useful endpaper: a table of Macintosh Pascal standard procedures cross-referenced to the section of the book that explains each — close, delete, drawchar, drawline, eraseoval, eraserect, frameoval, framerect, open, paintcircle, paintoval, paintrect, pensize, read, readln, reset and so on.

The copyright is held by THINK Technologies, the company behind THINK Pascal and THINK C, which places this book in the same lineage as the later Symantec titles held here.

This is not a repair source

[edit | edit source]

This is a programming book. It contains no schematics, no parts lists, no component values, no voltages, no connector pinouts and no service procedures, and nothing in it should be cited for a hardware figure. Apple's software documentation and its compiler manuals describe the machine as the programmer sees it, which is not the machine the technician sees.

For hardware data use:

 level: specifications, symptom charts, take-apart and module part numbers
  • Apple's Developer Notes — the one class of Apple developer document that does carry
 rail currents, expansion-slot power budgets and connector pinouts. Several are held here, for
 example Macintosh IIci Developer Note, Macintosh IIsi Developer Note and
 Macintosh LC 475 and Quadra 605 Developer Note.
