To R.L. Caroll and others: In answer to inquiries o using ProDos on a copy-cat Apple, I am reposting informaton in a previous letter. Boot the ProDos disk and when meaningful action seems to have ceased, press RESET, go into the monitor (call-151), type 2647:EA EA and 2000G. I am taking someone's word for it that it works. -- Jonathan Dubman - care of: Mort Dubman AT&T Bell Laboratories ihnp4!ihuxn!mort Naperville, IL.

xxx The ProDos "fix" that was proposed not only does not work for me (2647:EA EA), but seems to be patching only the first 2 bytes of a 3 byte inst'n to NOPs. Oh well. To correct my earier posting, what I had heard was that ProDos was incompatible with non-std disk cards. One person has responded that it worked properly with his clone. On the other hand, it won't work with mine even though I have never had trouble with any other software. I could understand apple making the software check to ROM to cut out the clone makers, but it does not seem sensible to insist on a std disk card. I would presume it is acceptable to Apple that their users buy third party *peripherals*. -- Gregory Dudek {cornell,decvax,ihnp4,linus,utzoo,uw-beaver}!utcsrgv!dudek
