Re: Apple IIplus ROMs in original II?

ProDos won't boot on an Apple II with Integer Basic ROM's on the motherboard. And an Integer Basic ROM card won't help either since it cannot coexist with a Language Card, and ProDos requires a Language Card to be able to even boot.

Huh? My integer basic Apple II happily boots early versions of ProDOS.
I've booted Copy II Plus off a SCSI hard drive in my II. If I'd come up
with an Integer Basic program selector I'd have left ther hard drive
connected to the II.

Later versions of ProDOS require 64k but the first version will run on
48k.

I've always used a ROM card with a language card. They have nothing to
do with each other aside from both using slots in the same machine.
