     ProDOS is faster than standard DOS 3.3; however, practically everyone uses
a speeded DOS 3.3 which is as fast as ProDOS. (For information about fast DOS
3.3's, see http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2DOSMM.html#003 .)

     If you can not boot a ProDOS disk on your older model (II, II+) Apple II,
check to make sure the "Language Card" is plugged into Slot 0.
