     There may have been a System 3.4; but, it couldn't have had a very long
run. (Sys 3.2 is 14-Jun-88  and Sys 4.0.0 is 18-Aug-88.) 

     The ProDOS-8 included would have been v1.6 or v1.7.

     The last ProDOS-8 version which runs on 64k Apple II's is v1.9, dated 16
July 1990.

     As far as I know, the latest ProDOS-8 is v2.0.3, released 6 May 1993. It
needs at least 128k.


     You can find ProDOS v1.9 on several 5.25" utility disks (in .dsk disk
image and .sdk ShrinkIt disk file form). Look for PDUTIL.zip,
PDSHRINKITS.zip, and PDTCOM.zip at ...

     ProDOS v2.0.3 is included on these 5.25" disks ...
