Re: Franklin Ace 1000 Boot Disk

["bob" <bob@carol.net>]

i used to have the franklin ace with the two built in floppies. in fact, i
threw the drives away less than a year ago. anyway, the franklin would work
with anything that any of my friends' apples worked with, including
hardware. i recall the drives were manufactured by the same company that
made them for apple.

i think the card is the 80 column card. try pr#4 and see if it switches to
80 columns. if you pull the card then it won't. you also can't see the 80
columns and print at the same time.

i used to really like that computer.... i think it cost me $150 in 1985. it
was the showroom model, and it came with a box of software and manuals !
