Prodos 1.3 was released to developers in January and several problems have come to light which appears to make it destined for the old software home. Firstly a BRA command not supported by 6502 (use with II+ and //e's which haven't been upgraded). This can be fixed by load in ProDos at $2000 and inserting a BEQ. BLOAD PRODOS, TSYS, A$2000 POKE 19661,240 BSAVE PRODOS,TSYS,A$2000 The second problem is one which began to appear in ProDOS 1.1.1 that of both disk drives being on at the same time. However the problem seems to be much worse with 1.3. My ancient DISK IIs bounce back and forth continuously when doing a catalog or at the start of an OPEN command. When will APPLE Learn ? Oh for the days of DOS3.3 when things didn't change. I'm going back to 1.1.1 with the patch I previously posted the software that has come with 1.3 still runs with that.
