Description

The Mark Goldstein papers consist of user manuals, catalogs, product advertisements, and reference sheets for microcomputer products from the 1970s and 1980s from various technology companies. A significant portion of the material pertains to hardware, peripheral hardware, and software for the S-100 bus home-built computers and the Apple II. Many software manuals are photocopies, not originals. Items of note include catalogs from MicroAge, S-100, 6502 Program Exchange, and Computer Learning Center, as well as program listings from the 6502 Program Exchange and Apple II programs. Apple II promotional material and technical literature, such as About Your Enhanced Apple IIe: User’s Guide (1984) and Apple II: Cable and Connector Guide (1982), are included. The collection also holds clippings and photocopied articles from 1974 to 1985 about microcomputer hardware, software, and programming, as well as newsletters, including The Digital Group Flyers #1-15 and JUDGE: Joint Users of Digital Group Equipment #1-5. In addition to the printed materials, there are approximately forty 5 ¼ inch floppy disks containing software.
