I don't have the original disks (well, I didn't make an image of them at 
anyrate).  However, I was rewriting them.  I have source for a number of 
versions (7 of them)... but I think I was pretty much disassembling the 
original code.  Apparantly it was called ProFix, as all my code was 
named as such.  Since I bought the ProFile second hand, I don't really 
know where this code originated.  (The original owner ran a BBS called 
Dark Light, I believe - in the Twin Cities.)

Anyway, if you're interested in the code, I don't see any reason why I 
couldn't ship it over.  I really don't know too much about it, 
unfortunately.  I'm not sure how much use it will be, as the utilities 
that setup the ProDOS volume are gone as far as I can tell.

P.S. I just found some files titled "PROFILE $C800 ROM.S", "PROFILE 
$C500 ROM.S" and "PROFILE DRIVER.S" which may (at least) be from the 
original disks.
