This CD-ROM contains more than 600 megabytes of Apple II files! For many years, it cost $60, but Shareware Solutions II is now selling it, and in typical fashion, has dropped the price down to $25, which includes postage to anywhere in the world!

All of the information found at the Golden Orchard site is accurate, except for costs and ordering information. The Golden Orchard CD-ROM may now be ordered from Shareware Solutions II for $25.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The Golden Orchard CD-ROM has a 32 meg ProDOS bootable partition, as well as multiple HFS partitions.
All six partitions of Golden Orchard should easily be usable on an Apple IIGS. On a Macintosh however, there are a few hitches. Apple's standard Macintosh CD-ROM drivers only support one HFS volume per CD-ROM. As such you will need third party drivers that support more than one HFS volume. We recommend FWB's CD-ROM Toolkit (http://www.fwb.com/ for more information). CD-ROM Toolkit also has the benefit of being able to mount the ProDOS partition on the Mac as well, so long as you have the Mac ProDOS File System Extension in your Extensions folder. (This extension is part of the Mac Apple IIe card software which can be found in the Apple Software folder on Golden Orchard.)
