IIe boot disk needed



Kiki, what you really need is 5.25" software.  The boot disk helps you not at
all except to show you that the machine runs well.  Do you have a 5.25" disk
drive?  You made it sound like you dont.  You will need some kind of disk
drive.

While having a boot drive is nice, any DOS 3.3 disk will simply boot, or you
put it in the drive, type CATALOG to see what is there, the RUN FILE where FILE
is any program with an "A" in front of it or BRUN and file that has a "B" in
front of it.  Most commericail disks will boot by turning the machine off and
then on again, or by typing "PR#6" from the basic prompt (])

Often prodos disks have prodos on the disk already and thus boot in the same
way.
