I know that ProDOS 2.X and later won't work with a II plus. I have been
trying to boot earlier ProDOS versions, such as 1.4, 1.1.1, etc. I tried
to boot the ProDOS User's Disk and it locked up, even though the label
says that it works with a 64K II plus (My clone has 64K on the mainboard,
unusual for a II plus clone). The only ProDOS program it will boot is copy
II plus.
