Re: Apple ][ plus 13 sector! Problems...

Richard,

    Are you in UK?  I can ship 16 sector controller card and original DOS
3.3 Master diskette to you at no charge of shipping and handling cost when
you ship me 13 sector controller card.  I have a copy of DOS 3.2.1 Master
diskette in my own hand.  In fact, DOS 3.3 Master can load 13 sector PROM
into memory that it allows you to boot DOS 3.2.1 Master diskette using 13
sector PROM in memory.
