Trackstar



Yeah I am still tinkering with my Trackstar and I found a need and am issuing 
a call among the only people on Planet Earth who would know the answer to this 
one:
Does anyone out there have a copy of  the "E"  software for the Trackstar?  
Not the 128, and not the 128+,  but the  actual "E" stuff.
 What is the difference?  Well it seems the 128 and the 128+ are basically 
reverse-engineered (Copywrite 1983-84 Language Arts Inc.) Apple ][+ systems 
with a extra 64k.  
 The "E" is a IIe...sort of...
What I really need is the tsutilit.com program from the "e" set.  The 
difference here is the 128+ flavor of this setup routine only allows the PC's 
360k drive to be set-up as a "trackstore" disk, NOT as a standard PrDOS 
capable drive.  Yes I do have the funny add-on board that allows this (and 
finding it was whoa! another story!)
I am not clear from the documentation if the 360k somehow becomes a 140k Apple 
drive or, if it stays a 360 and is formatable in ProDOS (like the transdrive 
on a PC Transporter)  and THAT is what I wanna find out.  no no don't tell me! 
 I am a stuborn cuss!  I want the program so I can break it m'self! 

oh and another thing:  Anyone ever tried hooking a 2nd Apple Drive (or a 
Duodisk or the like) to a Trackstar?
thanks
