There was a Pascal 1.4?

-uso.

  The last version of Apple Pascal (AKA UCSD Pascal for the Apple)
was version 1.3.  It had support for 800K 3.5 inch diskettes.

  I have some 400K Apple Pascal disks but they are for the Mac.

  Is the problem disk readable by a sector editor?


No. We try with Copy II Plus 9.1, on the IIgs. Nothing (cannot read the
disk).

Good program. If I recall correctly it doesn't have the capability of reading Pascal disks. You'll have to go back to an earlier version. Possible one under DOS 3.3. from there you can use 9.1 to copy it from a DOS floppy to Prodos.

FYI, I read somewhere the block structure is very similar to Prodos except one feature reversed an order. I managed to use a disk reader I had written a long time ago to verify the data on the floppy. So you *might* be able to write a program to extract files using low level Prodos routines.

	As I said, it was a LONG time ago.


Doesn't Chameleon read Pascal?  If so, it can copy the files to just
about anything.


Don't the Apple ProDOS Utilities format and copy Pascal disks?
