Re: ADTPro updated - bare-metal bootstrapping now built in

["magnusfalkirk" <dean.phares@gmail.com>]

Greetings,

I've got a quick question here about ADTPro. The Apple IIe system I
recently picked up has an older PRODOS system disk with it, version
1.1.1 I believe. Since I've already got a PRODOS system disk do I need
to bootstrap the computer or can I just hook up the Apple IIe and my
Mac Mini then boot the IIe with the old system disk and start
transferring programs?

I guess what I'm looking for is an explanation of how to use ADTPro if
I've already got a system disk and some software for the computer.

Thanks in advance,
Dean
