Re: How to format ProFile

["Stefan Miganowicz" <nrsdpms1@tiac.net>]

OK, now I understand.  I need is a System Utilities disk to format the
drive.  One came with the Apple III but I lost it and can't find it.  Before
I rip the house apart trying to find it, can I download it and then transfer
it onto an Apple II with ADT?


Thanks,
Stefan
