(I meant to ask this in my previous submission about Apple ///'s...
Sorry to make you hit the "n" key twice!)
I have been given to understand that Apple's PRODOS operating system
was developed directly from their SOS o/s which they used on the ///.
In fact some of their SOS documentation mentions fields, etc. used in
ProDos. I'm wondering how close are they? Can ProDos data disks be
read by an Apple /// under SOS and vice-versa? Will ProDos software
work on an Apple /// under SOS? Will ProDos work on an Apple ///?
How about compatiblity between Apple II's or //'s running CPM and
Apple /// CPM?
(This should be interesting... :-)
Many thanks to any respondents.

The Apple /// cannot run prodos or Prodos software in the native mode. Sine the emulation mode only has 48K you must buy a //e emulator from Titan Technologies to run Prodos and Prodos software on the ///. Prodos requires 64K. Rick Fincher
