Is there anyone out there who was using an Apple II back when the Pascal System was first released? The reason I ask, is it appears that Apple Pascal came out in 1979, and DOS 3.3, using the new disk controller ROMs and 16-sector disks, did not become available until a year later, in 1980. How did people who bought Apple Pascal manage? Was this when the BASICS pre-boot disk came out, along with Apple Pascal (to give people disk access to the "BASICS", Applesoft and Integer?)
