[comp.sys.apple2] Boot Record

   I am trying to find a good DOS-independant scheme for reading in various
blocks on a ProDOS formatted 800K disk and chuck them all around my GS's
16-banks of RAM. I'd prefer something like a SmartPort ReadBlock call, but
sadly can't find any documentation for it. Can someone show me how to do an
Extended SmartPort ReadBlock? Thanks.

The IIgs firmware reference manual has all the info on extended smartport.
