Contents of /UTILITIES (5.25" disk)
 
Same as 3.5" disk, except CLOCK.PATCH is omitted because there's no room.
 
 
What changed:
 
ProDOS
* ProDOS 8 v2.0.2.
* KVersion ($BFFF) is $22 for version 2.0.2.
* Slot 3, Drive 2 is always reserved for /RAM.  The SmartPort remapping
  code never maps a device into slot 3, drive 2.
* The message "RELOCATION/CONFIGURATION ERROR" is uppercase again (like
  it was in 1.9) so it will be legible on an Apple II+.  After displaying
  the message, it now hangs with a BMI again instead of BRA, for
  pre-65C02 processors.
* Changed the copyright message at $BF40 to start with a $00, to prevent
  crashes when applications use the code in the ProDOS 8 Technical
  Reference to remove /RAM.  This code assumes there is a $00 after the
  last device number, which was previously not true if 14 devices were
  present.
* Changed page-3-init table to initialize $3FB (NMI) to $00 $40 $00
  instead of JMP $FF59.
 
BASIC.System
* Version 1.5 (unchanged from Apple IIgs System Software 6.0).
 
Launcher.System
* Version 4.0.  The only change is the version number and copyright date.
 
FastCopy.System
* Version 1.0.1.
* FastCopy now correctly determines the capacity of source and destination
  disks before copying.  Attempting to copy between varying sizes results
  in the message "Disk must be same type..." and the destination disk being
  ejected and the user prompted for another disk.
* ROM 03 Apple IIgs's using FastCopy 1.0 were forced to have disks in any
  drives they wished to use for copying at the time they launched version
  1.0.  Any drives without disks in them were ignored and not available
  for copying.  Now allows any available drive to be used for ROM 01 and
  ROM 03.
* The number of blocks copied from a source disk was not the actual number
  of blocks on the source disk but the number of blocks on the disk in the
  drive when version 1.0 was launched.  If a 400K disk was in the drive when
  FastCopy 1.0 was launched, then an 800K disk copied, only 400K of the disk
  was actually copied.  Now it reads the number of blocks on the disk at the
  actual time of the copy.
 
Clock.Patch
* Updated to patch 2.0.2 as well as 1.9 and 2.0.1.  The year table in
  2.0.2 is in the same place as in 2.0.1.
 
Copy.Me
* Unchanged from Apple II System Software 3.2.
 
SysUtil.System
Util.0
Util.1
Util.2
Settings
* System Utilities version 3.1, unchanged from Apple II System Software 3.2.
