Easy Open has nothing to do with ProDOS disks. It allows you to pick an app
to open a file when the system can't figure out from the file's creator which
app to use. PC Exchange is what you mean. In addition to allowing access to
DOS disks, it does ProDOS. I have it installed and when I put a blank disk
in the drive, I can choose between Mac, DOS, and ProDOS formats. Stick in a
ProDOS floppy and up comes a floppy icon with "II" on it. I've not used it 
much myself though, since my machines are networked and file sharing is much
handier than using disks.
