Re: Strange A][ clone

["PL" <pasi.loytty@iki.fi>]

I did some testing with the machine.

When I boot it, "BOSS ][" (instead of APPLE ][) appears on tope of the
screen. Also, it looks like the machine has Applesoft ROMs since the prompt
is "]".

I have some A// diskettes. The machine boots with some of them, but at the
moment I can't verify if they were DOS 3.3 or ProDOS disks. However, since
there is Z80 installed, I tried to boot CP/M. Didn't work. I don't know if
the diskette is corrupted or if it just doesn't work. When I have time, I'll
try to create new CP/M disk to see if it works.
