| Version 2.x of ProDOS-8 assume that you have upper & lower case support (for

| Most 65c02 chips do not work in a ][+ according to Jim Sather in "Understandi

| also do the trick (I seem to recall seeing the ][+ in my Zip chip manual).

well, i HAVE LC and a 65C02.  (the 65C02 is on the transwarp card, i 
never bothered with upgrading the one on the main board).

and as i recall, 2.x demands 128+k (256k, thanks Transwarp!).
