Yes...for ProDOS, I'm afraid. If that's the issue (and now that I think
about it, probably is), could you recommend an easy fool-proof utility
for the DOS 3.3 job, that runs from ProDOS? Considering that ADT is my
next resort after I couldn't get DiskMaker working awhile back, I'd
rather not have to go through that again.
