Actually I am not on a real GS (yet; I am trying to rebuild my
collection but so far haven't reacquired a GS). I'm trying to play
Deja Vu in Sweet16, and the disk image isn't bootable. As I recall,
the Amiga version of this game had the same silly setup.
Beyond INIT HELLO I don't remember how to format a disk on the II
series; I never owned a GS, and I certainly never got to use any II
with 3.5" floppies :)
If I boot off a 5.25" ProDOS disk image, then eject and insert the
Deja Vu (800K) disk image, I can't catalog it. I guess this is because
the 3.5" and 5.25" disks show up on separate slots [?].
How can I format a bootable 3.5" disk image so I can run this darn
game?
Thanks.
