Later though Franklin did the same, with their own legal clone of ProDOS and
the ROM, for BASIC they got a clone of Applesoft from Microsoft - interesting
eh? I have one of the last Franklin machines, the 500, a clone of the //c. I'm
wanting a copy of the 2000 series, clones of the //e. I do have Franklin 1000,
1200, and the very rare 1000+, which has an RGB interface on the motherboard,
oh, and the disk controller is on the mother board too, otherwise it looks like
a 1200.
