HI:  Could be a Catch 22 thing.
1. My testing I formatted disk as CP/M  then archived and tried to restore,
it worked ok.
2. I thinks that a ProDos format should work. There is a difference in the
sector ordering between Dos 3.3 , Prodos , Cp/m . It should work though
only slower.
3. At any rate you must format the the disc's

*** I will try what you tried and see ***



Humm ... I did this:

1- Formatted disks with CP/M and used ShrinkIt to unpack the .SDK
files (Appli-Card boot disks)
2- Put the card in Slot 7 (and slot 4 after)
3- Boot with the disks. But didn�t work !!! When I boot with those
disks, the apple //e still booting !!! But, if I boot with any other
CP/M disk, using other CP/M card, and I send a "dir" command, the
files stored on the AppliCard boot disks, are listed !!! That�s means
that the AppliCard boot disks are ok !!

Does someone already works with this card ? It�s doing me crazy !!!!
Is that a way to test it, like PR#7 or other way ?

Thanks and sorry by my bad English !!

Both Bill and I have copies of the card. For some reason, I haven't been able to get it to work in a //gs, but it works just fine in a //e. Our cards came out of Franklin Ace's I had bought.
Somewhere I have copies of CP/M just for the card, but, as I recall, CP/M for the Microsoft card works also.
