Are you sure about that message?

If you get UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS, then it means you have an unbootable
disk, and you need a ProDOS startup disk.

If you get the [pbbbbbblt!] and the ProDOS splash screen, then something like:

[beep]SYNTAX ERROR

]

then ProDOS is loading successfully, but the STARTUP program contains an
instruction that BASIC.SYSTEM doesn't like.
