Re: I need to download BASIC.SYSTEM ... SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!

["John Jacobs" <jjacobs@hager.net>]

Thanks everyone! I got it to work... you know what my problem was? DOH! When
I installed the serial card I had all the cards unplugged for a bit and put
the floppy controller in slot 7 instead of 6.  So *of course* I'll get an
I/O error when trying to use slot 6! Hahahahah, it just cracks me up how
many other things I was "blaming."

Anyway, ADT works flawlessly! I got the image from the PC to a bootable disk
in 1.5 minutes, and it booted up in ProDos and then I got the ] prompt. Now
I can make the Y2K changes for my AppleWorks 3.0 and I should be good to go
until 2099 rolls around (hahahahah).

Again, thanks for all the help everyone!
