Network Comment: to #575 by obsolete!dlyons%apple.com Mr Lyons, as I remember, ProDOS will even run on a 48K machine as long as you don't try to run BASIC.SYSTEM. So a BIN file that doesn't use the BI should still run, right? Of course I haven't looked at any of the new tech notes, all the ones that I paid for are now obsolete.

Booting on a 48K machine was in the original design for ProDOS 8, but it was taken out either before the first public release or a long time ago. Early documentation included diagrams for 48K systems, but they didn't mean much (I think there was an addendum telling you to cross out those pictures). Technotes are freely distributable. They get mailed to Apple Partners and Apple Associates, and you can download them from APPLE2-L (right?), CompuServe, GEnie, AppleLink, AppleLink--Personal Edition, several FTP sites, or you can get them on the A2-Central disk of the month (I assume they will release the updates on there...they put out the whole set a few months ago). The technotes will continue to be revised and improved every 2 months, whether you like it or not. Even if it makes your old ones obsolete. (Maybe you can depreciate your old ones on your taxes.) --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
