I just recievd my shiny new CFFA card, and I have been trying to install ProDos 1.9 on to a CF card. My Apple ][+ has the language card installed, which means it should work with ProDOS 1.9, however when I try to boot from the ProDOS 1.9 disk (downloaded from the web and converted to a 5.25" floppy) I get the message: 'Sorry, program requires a IIe or IIc' then 'Enter Prefex (press return to accept)' /PRODOS1.9/
As others have said, the "System Utilities" are the culprit. You can put together a disk image with ProDOS 1.9 and the older FILER/CONVERT combo from older ProDOS system disks; those work on a 64K II+. I'm not sure though at what point the switch from FILER/CONVERT to the System Utilities happened.
And you can throw in BASIC.SYSTEM 1.5 from the ProDOS 2.0.3 disk. It works fine on a II+, doesn't need a 65C02.
As regards whether your language card is working or not: If ProDOS runs, it is working. Most of the ProDOS kernel resides in this card on a II+.
