Help w/][+ & Prodos



Hello All!

I need help with an Apple ][+ I recently acquired.

I have been trying to load PRODOS 1.0.1 and 1.1.1 onto an Apple][+ with 64k and 
a single drive.  When I attempt to boot up with 1.1.1,  the computer beeps and
goes to the system monitor and displays something like this:

		5F39-    A=00 X=00 Y=00 P=36 S=F4
                *
                
I can get the title screen to come up (stating which version of Prodos) but
shortly after that it displays the above code.

Now, when I try loading in Prodos 1.0.1, it gets past the title screen, but I
get an error message:

		**RELOCATION/CONFIGURATION ERROR**

I assumed my116k expansion card was in the wrong place, so I moved it to Slot 1
and then Slot 2, but I keep getting errors there as well. 

I can get DOS 3.3 to load with no problems.  I can also get other non-Prodos
disks to boot up as well.  I am assuming one of the following:

	- That one or more of my RAM chips is bad
	- I have a version of ROM that is incompatible with Prodos
	       - If true, what version of ROM would I need to get?		
	- I need to reconfigure Prodos (1.0.1 or 1.1.1) so that it 
	  will boot up with an Apple ][+
	       - If so, how do I do this
If it is my RAM, I suspect it might be the 16k expansion board.  I don't know
much about it, but it's made by a company called CTA(?).

Any help would be appreciated either here or e-mail.

While I'm on the subject of the ][+. does anyone know if this system is capable
of a warm boot?  I know I can type in 'PR#6' from BASIC and that will work, but
is there a way to boot up as with the //e?  I hate turning it on and off for
fear of wearing out my switch and power supply.   

I'd also like to be able to have lowercase.  What is a good chip/expansion
board to buy (surplus, ofcourse)?

Thanks-
