The 6502 code runs without a problem under ProDos

you have to download it somehow...  Are you downloading with an Apple
II?

A2tools is NOT an "amiga toolset"...  it is a program available for
many platforms,
that allows you to "import" files into a disk image.

The program is 6502 assembly language, compiled to 6502 machine
language.  The only AppleSoft is a startup/ initialization program.

It is very usable on the Apple II..  You might like to read this
newsgroup
for a bit, and get to know what's going on in this *hobby* group.  We
have
PC, MAC tools available that allow us to download files (SHK, DSK, NIB,
etc), manipulate them, and then send them to the Apple II via serial
card,
ethernet, gameport, etc..
