shows PRODOS 8 v1.9 but there is no cursor available to type anything

any suggestions?
Try an earlier version of ProDOS. I don't recall the version offhand but
at least one requires a 65c02.
ProDOS-8 2.0 and later require a 65C02.
1.3 also had a bug which meant it was only safe to use on a 65C02
(accidentally used a 65C02 instruction in the Disk ][ driver, if I
remember right). That was fixed in 1.4.
ProDOS-8 1.9 is the last version which runs on a 6502. That version had
a new program selector which only works on a IIe or later (it uses
80-column mode), but it reverts to the old "enter path and filename" one
on a II+. It should work fine.
Any version of ProDOS after 1.0.x requires a 64K Apple II, so perhaps
that II+ has a faulty language card? (That would normally produce a
"Relocation/Configuration Error" message, as would most RAM faults in
the main 48K area.)
