: The POKE I suggested isn't to location 0, but a value of 0 at location
: 48984. It will have the same effect as the POKE of 192, except that
: it also leaves pages 0 and 1 unprotected--which is irrelevant, since
: BASIC.SYSTEM and ProDOS will never get control back after the BRUN.

: Since Choplifter seems to work after being BRUN from ProDOS, you don't
: need any DOS files, but you will need ProDOS and BASIC.SYSTEM, plus a
: STARTUP program that POKEs 48984,192 (or 0) and then BRUNs Choplifter.

I made an image and uploaded it to my site. Simply download
it and copy all of the files to a 3.5" disk and it should
work. It's in another post somewhere here in CSA2.
