This may have been beaten to death by now, but here goes: There is a common misconception that Prodos does not run on II+'s. Prodos works JUST FINE on a II+... it is the extensions to BASIC that don't work. Thus, you can operate SOME programs on an Apple II+ in Prodos (Kyan Pascal + KIX is a good example). In short -- PRODOS.SYSTEM ----- works BASIC.SYSTEM ----- fails APW.SYSTEM ----- fails (appleworks) By the way, be aware that a bug in PRODOS makes it trash the disk (NOT NICE!) There is a fix, but I don't have it -- its a *BUG*, not a "feature" like the ROM checksum.

I used it about a year ago and the program runs great - however since you only need it once - well I don't have to spell it out. anyway there is hope. Bob "the insomniac" Combs
