Dave,
I have no luck with the Apple Pascal Filer, but I made progress.
I used Prodos8 to format the CF card partition with Pascal FS and
copied the Apple1: files to it.
It resists to boot "This Disk is not bootablez" but if I run Apple
Pascal from Disk, it recognizes the disk and I can read and write from
it.
Any Idea why it does not boot?
I would not really mind to boot from Floppy but the compilation and
the work file should be on the CF card.
