Recommended books on classic computing history?

I don't know where you got that idea from. Woz was involved as a project overseer when it was known as the Apple //x (and was main designer on the overall architecture), but by the time the GS project was underway he had left Apple again.

 

Look at the Apple Certificate of Authenticity. Do you see him on here?

Woz was largely responsible for the best computer Apple ever made, the IIgs. Which was also the last computer Woz made for Apple.

Apple2History.org says

Wozniak was quite involved in designing the general layout of the IIGS.

 

And yes, I do see Woz on there.

Yes, but as a figurehead. Not as a member of the team.

I enjoyed THE HOME COMPUTER WARS by Michael S. Tomczyk. You can find a PDF of it thru Google.

 

I read book some times ago...

 

but I just stumble on this:

 

"Bil advised to have Lenard Tramiel autograph the books.

However, when I pulled the books out (On the Edge

and the Home Computer Wars), Lenard and Bil

became very outspoken, saying that the latter

book was full of falsehoods, that the author did

not really have the information, that there were

errors in the book. Lenard grudgingly autographed

the book, but both of them were more at ease

signing Bagnall's book."

does anybody have clue why Lenard Tramiel would say something like that about "THE HOME COMPUTER WARS", especial when Michael S. Tomczyk work really close with Jack?!
