01...Is there any way to upgrade this?  Or is there even a need to?

Just ran out and purchased one...ok, so I did it about 90min ago...no luck
making the connect.  YET.  Everytime I hit "IN#2" as instructed by ADT
nothing happens on the apple side and the PC side says "Error writing
to..." which tells me I still haven't established connectivity.  Or the
command
has changed for ProDOS...I believe ADT wants DOS3.3

It looks like ShrinkIt is already on the HDD from the previous owner, but
not much else...
