[Help!] AppleWorks 2.0 on IIGS
Hi,
I'm trying to get AppleWorks 2.0 to work on the IIGS. Here's what I've
tried, and the results of each:
1) Boot IIGS as normal (from 100 MB HDD with GS/OS 6.0.1). Put AW2.0
disk in the 5.25" disk drive. Open disk on desktop. Click on
APLWORKS.SYSTEM.
Result: Loads ProDOS, loads AppleWorks side 1 fine. When it tells
me to, I flip the disk and hit return. Then it asks for the date, and it
reads it correctly from the system clock. I hit enter. It says "loading
appleworks into extended memory" (BTW, it reports available memory
correctly; more than 3 MB free). But it just sits there. It won't even
reboot correctly (hitting Control-Apple-Reset doesn't work).
2) Same as above, but tell it to run the PRODOS file on the disk.
Result: Same as above
3) Power up with hard drive off, and AppleWorks disk in 5.25" drive.
Result: Same as above
4) I then copied everything from both sides of the disk to a new folder
in the first partition of my hard drive. Tried running from both the
APLWORKS.SYSTEM file, then from the PRODOS file.
Result: same as above.
I'm fresh out of ideas for how to get this thing to work. The same disk
works perfectly on my //c. What am I doing wrong in trying to get it to
work on the IIGS?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
-Joe
