I am currently working on converting (via software) an Apple /// to
an Apple ][. The /// has a disk called 'Apple ][ emulator' which
allows the /// to reboot itself as an Apple ][, and accept Apple ][ software.
This /// also has a Profile external hard drive. This hard drive is
not yet formatted. I want to format the hard drive under Apple ][
emulation, but the emulation program only gives a choice between Applesoft
or Integer Basic (it is copywrite 1980, 1981). Is there any DOS
utility which will 1) recognize the hard drive (who's controller card is
installed in the ///'s port #1, unless I should change to a different slot),
and 2) format it? Or, is there a way for it to recognize ProDOS and
possibly format the hard drive under ProDOS (prefered format?)
If anyone can offer help, please e-mail me directly to:
sehrlich@lynx.northeastern.edu
Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. This is not my Apple ///, but I have virtually full and flexible control
over its setup.
P.P.S. I have FTP capabilities, so if there is a program available via
Anonymous FTP, I can get it. (I have an Apple ][c at home which I use
extensively for communications).
