Hey guys... I'm having difficulties.
I'm trying to create some Apple /// boot disks using MacADT. I have an
SE/30 running MacADT, connected to an Apple //c. I format the disk
using the //c with the "INIT HELLO" command. I am able to successfuly
copy //-series software .dsk files from the SE/30 to the //c using
MacADT to ADT transfer.
So I downloaded the Apple3SystemUtils.dsk file and other system disk
files for the Apple ///. I transferred them in the same way to 5.25"
floppies using MacADT to ADT (SE/30 to //c). However when I put these
disks in the Apple ///, it won't boot. It just gives the error, "I/O
Error" in the center of the screen (no other info). When there's no
disk in the drive, it just says RETRY ;
Obviously the Apple //c uses a different disk format than the Apple
///. But how else am I supposed to get the SOS disks for Apple /// ???
Someone please help. E-mail or respond here thanks!
