                       THE DOG IS LOOSE!


Let us show you what we think Apple IIgs emulation is.

Bernie 2.0 Final is now available for downloading from our web site. This
release is the take-it-period variant based on the earlier
take-it-or-leave-it prerelease. 

If you're still unsure whether to update your prerelease: would you want to
be without InputSprockets support, without 16-bit (truecolor) direct video
blitter, or a more precise SpeedNanny, or the supercool, fall-in-love
AppleColor monitor mode? No. You wouldn't. :-)

So, what's new:

=80 industrial-strength communciations support
  - more than twice the performance of version 1.3
  - full hardware handshaking support
  - various DTR emulation options
  - bandwidth-maximizing flow control
  - compatibility with Spectrum, Marinetti and ProTerm 3, among others
  - automatic and manual port speed
  - full two-port implementation
  - explicit Communications status window with buffer status,
    error LEDs and multi-purpose display
=80 industrial-strength interrupt processing
  - faster
  - reliable
  - glitches in sound interrupt handling fixed
=80 NEW! AppleColor Monitor Mode - smoothed 640 superhires video (you'll love
it!)
=80 NEW! InputSprockets support
=80 Intuitive, simple preferences
  - Appearance Manager support (required)
  - create presets and attach to disk images
  - simple, unified drag & drop interface
  - complete customization
=80 Full performance control with delta fine-tuning
=80 NEW! Improved SpeedNanny for more accurate performance control
=80 NEW! Faster video blitter, ultrafast 16-bit direct blitter
=80 ZipChip emulation
  - emulates 14Mhz Zip. Your IIgs controls Bernie's speed!
=80 ViagRAM=81
  - memory enhancer delivers up to 14Mb of free RAM
=80 Accurate internal timing
=80 ROM-dependent battery RAM
=80 extended video border
=80 Navigation Services
=80 new About
=80 revised manual

(items marked NEW! have not been part of the prereleases)

If you'd also like to call your own a Apple IIgs running at up to 65 Mhz
with up to 14 Mb RAM, say hello by pointing your browser at
