: If you still need ProDOS v1.9 I'm fairly sure you can get it on this disk
: archive:
:
: A2.HIGHSPEED.SCSI.UTIL.SDK
:
: from this folder.

: http://www.apple2.org.za/mirrors/ftp.apple.asimov.net/unsorted/

There are several people now who have personal archives of all
of the ProDOS versions and their prospective Basic.System files.
I have the ProDOS's and Basic's in separate images, but I believe
John Van Winkle has them put together somewhere.  :o)
