[comp.sys.apple2] Help!!!!!!!!!!

PARGWE%morekypr@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (03/05/91)

  I have an Apple Compatible Laser Computer with a built in disk
drive and an external one.  Isa there a way to boot up on the external?
The internal drive is shot, but I can load a very simple hello
and run BASIC programs from the external.  I need a command to
boot nonbasic programs like COPYII PLUS and Apple ACCESS (a modem
program).....
thanks

If as you say:

and run BASIC programs from the external.  I need a command to
boot nonbasic programs like COPYII PLUS and Apple ACCESS (a modem
program).....
Then you already have an operating system running as well as basic.system
loaded.
If that is true, type -filename (where filename is the full name of the
file you want to run).  I recomend it be squirt.system, That way you'll
have a program launcher running to launch system files.
If you don't have squirt, I can send you a Binscii'd copy of it.

Try PR#x

X = 6 Where you have a 5.25 disk
X = 5 Where you have a 3.5 disk
X = 7 Might work for a disk also.
