This Technical Note formerly described a bug of SANE on the Apple IIGS which 
caused it to jump through location $00/0018 instead of through the HALT vector 
in the SANE direct page.
_____________________________________________________________________________

The bug which caused SANE on the Apple IIGS to jump through location $00/0018 
instead of through the HALT vector in the SANE direct page was fixed in the 
Apple IIGS ROM 2.0.  You should not have to write a special case to handle 
this bug since it is reasonable to expect users to have the updated ROM which 
is offered as a free upgrade from Apple.
