Here is the file on this from my BBS.
 
==============================
Patching ProDOS 8 for Franklin
==============================
 
To Patch ProDOS to run on a Franklin ACE 1000, 1100, 1200, etc.
and probably many other clones and work-alikes, use a sector
editor, such as Copy II Plus, to search for and replace at least the
first of the following byte sequences in the file PRODOS.
 
     Search for:        Replace with:
     --------------     --------------
     69 0B D0 03        69 0B D0 00
 
     AE B3 FB E0 38     A2 EA EA E0 38
 
This works with all versions of ProDOS up to version 1.9.  It may also work
with version 2.x if your Franklin or other clone works properly with a 65C02
or 65C802 CPU.  The first patch allows the boot process to complete.  This
patch is absolutely necessary.  The second patch may be optional and is
explained below.
 
The second patch causes ProDOS to not see an 80-column card or extra memory
if the patched version is run on a //e, //c or IIgs.  Some software will
think that there is a //e-style 64K 80-column card present when run on a
Franklin, so the second patch prevents ProDOS from erroneously reporting
that there is one in the machine.
