I guess...Dapple 0.8 disk access drags for 5.25" disk images but it
flies for 1.44MB disks - but the Apple //e emulation (64K unenhanced)
is so buggy as to be almost worthless (my bad) - and that's why I use
it as a ][+ emulator. I was thinking of maybe stuffing a few games on
a floppy and using it that way.
