Re: Apple ][ plus 13 sector! Problems...
Richard,
Can you please do a favor for me? If you get 16 sector controller card,
put it in slot 6 and put 13 sector controller card in slot 5.
Boot DOS 3.3 Master diskette using slot 6. Then copy bootloader PROM
from $C500 to $C5FF by typing BSAVE PROM13,A$C500,L$100.
I can be able to use it for Emulator project rather than depending on
*.NIB. Also, it will be considered to build controller card that uses EPROM
chip. It is what we all folks are interested.
