I can't seem to remember how to load two BASIC programs in to each other. Basically, I would like to first load Super IOB and the 'append load' the Sword of Kadash SoftKey program at line 1000. I can't seem to remember what DOS 3.3/BASIC commands to use to accomplish this.


If one thing working with Apple II's have taught me over the years is how to think outside the box. I was able to first load the Sword of Kadash SoftKey program and then list it to the screen. 80 Column mode of course. Then load Super IOB and using the ESCAPE key I move to the previous listing of Sword of Kadash and trace the lines and hit Enter, in effect typing the lines of code in automatcially. After a few minutes I had my program created and saved.

Congrats on your resourcefulness!

The Softkey "controllers" are text files that are meant to be
EXECed into the Super IOB program, which saves you the typing.  ;-)

Now I run it, but have the same error with Tack 1. Still doesn't matter which disk I use for source either. The Super IOB program just crashes and says DRIVE ERROR. After checking the code it seems it has some 'basic' (no pun intended) error handeling code so I'm a little suprized that it's crashing. It should ignor any errors acording to the code. Does this program run on a IIe or IIgs or do I need a II+?

A //e should be fine.

I haven't looked at the Sword of Kadash controller, but it may be
changing some format nibbles so that a normal disk can't be read,
only the Sword of Kadash or other similarly protected disk.

Are you using an *original* Sword of Kadash or a deprotected copy?

If anyone has a known good, working copy of Super IOB please email me a copy or post a link here. The articles in Cumputist say v1.2 of Super IOB is okay but v1.5 will work also. All I have is v1.5.

Anthony and I will keep looking for another copy of Super IOB but it doesn't seen too common.

It's almost certainly OK.  There is some other problem.
