Re: Apple IIe help



The ProDOS that I seem to have is version 1.x and when I use the menu to
identify drive 2 it will show a list of what's on the drive in "slot 6 drive
2" and I had check to see if there were errors on the disk and their isn't.
It's ok.
When I try typing CATALOG,D2 at the DOS prompt drive 2 comes on and then I
get an I/O error.
Once I get it to show what's on drive 2 how do I run it? Thanks for you
reply!
