I'll see about digging it up. Since the Apple II was one of my
favorites I tend to have all of my Apple stuff at home unlike some of
my systems which are in storage. I can ShrinkIt but not the
manuals of course. I have been thinking of scanning them though.
IIRC, it came with a version of BASIC based on the version they
wrote for the Atari. It might be 13 sector though, I don't recall. I'll
let you know. Wait... I seem to recall it used a different layout than
Apple DOS, more like the system used with the Atari DOS. 128
byte sectors as such.

I also had the Apex OS with the XPL0 language. Never did get a
copy of the version of Focal for Apex but I wanted it. That was 13
sector when I picked it up but I was able to hack together a 16
sector version.
