Been trying to get my old IIgs set up for my son to learn programming.
Finally got it hooked up to an old t.v in 40 column mode. Was digging
through my box of junk - found an old 5.25 prodos 1.0.1 system master
disk...... without any sleeve lying under a bunch of crap at the
bottom.
Threw it into the 5.25" drive.... it booted. The whole shebang
works. :)
Ran filer - formatted a 3.5" floppy... copied the files between disks,
and booted off the 3.5"
Made a few backup copies as well.
Now to get some prodos 16 system masters brought over to the machine.
I have a serial cable and a PC handy. Any suggestions?
