Re: Help with 128k card on Apple ][+

["Nama" <forums6000@mac.com>]

Thansk for the replys.

I found the Saturn Manual, but have not been able to find the Saturn
utilities DSK file.

I did find this:

http://www.apple2clones.com/?q=filestore&from=86

But the readme file states that these probably won't work on an
original apple, as they have been modified for the Basis 108.

Does anyone know where I can find these utilities?

Thanks

Phil
