Just a few little niceties this go-round:
Inspired by Sheldon Simms' project to stay serial for not only booting
but also disk serving, I combined Speediboot and the Virtual Serial
Driver so that you can boot into the ProDOS BASIC interpreter with
VSDrive active. No floppies required, and all makes, models, and serial
devices that ADTPro supports work. The process is described here:
http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/bootstrap.html#Starting_with_Virtual_Serial_Drive
Since AppleCommander is an integral part of ADTPro now, I added a little
command line invoker for the embedded AC jar.
Then there's the thing I really wanted for myself: fixing the batch
numbering scheme to start at 1 and not 0, and re-starting when the
prefix name is changed.
Finally something that only the occasional person will need... you know
who you are... floppy disks that don't have a recognized filesytem will
always be written in DOS physical order.

1.2.7 - April 18, 2013
New functionality:
* [VDrive] Added the ability to bootstrap into ProDOS with
VSDrive active
* [Server] Added a command-line invoker for AppleCommander
Bug fixes:
* [Server] Start the numerical part of batch name at 1, not
0; reset the counter when a batch name changes
* [Server] 5-1/4" disk images with unrecognized filesystems
are always written with DOS-ordered physical interleaving
