    It won't work with Pascal 1.3.  I tried running "FILER.CODE', the
extended Filer that can recognize Pascal areas.  No go.  That extended
Filer is a version 1.2 app so 1.3 won't run it.

    While I had 1.3 running, I noticed that it recognized the Zip drive
connected to the Revision "C" card in a ROM 01 IIgs.  After some
experimenting, I now have a 100 MB Zip disk with two 16 MB Pascal
partitions and two 32 MB ProDOS partitions.  Of course, Pascal 1.3 can
access its partitions.  ProDOS 2.0.3 will assign drive and slot numbers
to the Pascal partitions so I can display the Pascal directories from
ProDOS with my "DUSCD" program.
