Re: How to format 800K boot disk for GS

[magnusfalkirk <dean.phares@gmail.com>]

If you're running GSOS, which is the only way you can run a GS
specific game like Deja VU, you'll have access to the second drive
simply by inserting a disk into it. Prodos is completely different
than DOS 3.3 and you can't catalog a Prodos disk in DOS 3.3.
