   Using BeagleWrite (8 bit) on an Apple IIgs equipped with the AppleSqueezer   
      
   I've always enjoyed BeagleWrite on my IIe. But when switching to my   
   Squeezer-equipped IIgs recently, I found I had trouble getting the 8-bit   
   software running, This was solved by using the Squeezer control panel to use   
   only the onboard (Squeezer) RAM and    
   ignoring the motherboard RAM. Acceleration is fine.   
      
   The IIgs doesn't display 8-bit BeagleWrite very well without adjustment. It   
   launches in color with all the color fringing you would expect from a IIe   
   unless switching the IIe monitor to monochrome. To my surprise, using the   
   OA-CTRL-ESC menu to change the    
   IIgs monitor to monochrome worked great! Perhaps the rest of the community   
   already knows this, but it was a fun discovery for me!   
      
   Saving in 8-bit BeagleWrite files is a bit of a challenge when using a hard   
   drive solution (in my case a CFFA3000) because the software makes you type in   
   a PATH name. But without getting too crazy, I found that using the file->open   
   command allowed me to    
   see the syntax needed. In my case I saw that I needed to type "/programs" for   
   that image (as I had named it on the IIgs). I saved it as an ASCII file for   
   ease of reading once I switched back to 16-bit mode. The entire point being   
   that I wanted to write a    
   Usenet post in 8-bit BeagleWrite and then upload it to comp.sys.apple2 with   
   SNAP.   
      
   Once I was satisfied with this writing in BeagleWrite (saved as an ASCII   
   file), I loaded up SNAP. I found that I could not paste the text into SNAP,   
   but I could insert a text file quite easily with File->Insert Text File.   
      
   I'm just submitting this for fun from my IIgs, and maybe if anyone wants to   
   switch between 8-bit and 16-bit softwares with an AppleSqueezer IIgs this   
   could be useful. Or not, Ha!   
      
   This rig is a ROM1 IIgs with a Squeezer, an Unthernet II, and connected to   
   Usenet with the free eternal-september Usenet server. BeagleWrite is very cool!   
      
   Peace
