So I did all this and installed Prosel. Prosel launches and I have a
menu option for the start.sys file, I select it, Sys 6.01 launches and
starts to load but just before it gets to the desktop it goes to a
blue screen error message stating "Sorry, this application requires
the P8 file to be in the SYSTEM subdirectory". OK, I get that, BUT
when I put a copy of the P8 file (which I had previously moved to the
root level and renamed it Prodos) back into the SYSTEM directory it
relaunches Prosel rather then going to the Sys 6.01 desktop.

What am I missing?
