Hi Jim,

Possibly ... With an Unable to load ProDos message, it's the
disk image, not the emulator.  What it is, is this: the disk image
has been formatted to have ProDOS block (sector) ordering
on it, but no system files (PRODOS.SYS or BASIC.SYSTEM)
to make it bootable.  There are numerous reasons for this back
in the day, one being licensing as with ProDOS, Apple Computer,
Inc. began to want a modest fee to use their bootable files on
any distributed disk.  Reason two, those files chew up a good
chunk of a 140K floppy 5.25" disk, so a lot of people left them
off and favoured a "master" boot disk to get the system going.

Ok, so if you try another Disk image, I'm sure you'll have much
improved luck.  Try a System Master DSK image to get a feel
for what a "good" boot looks like on the emulator.

Hopefully the third times the charm!

Later,
Craig
