Re: Apple /// Pascal question

[bill malcolm <wm65805@alltel.net>]

Hi All : Yes you MUST boot from floppy -- as the /// can only boot from floppy.

Yes you can run pascal from the profile ( and install software on Profile) .
You will need some sort of selector --- WAP disks have one for pascal --- I
could send you a copy ( best by mail) unless you have a apple IIGS (then an
image works).

NOTE there was Selector program call BOSS --- I have that also.

You can also use SCSI drives (with a scsi card), Corvus drives and Omninet also
are supported.

I hope this is usefull to all

Maybe someone wants to create a new rom to boot from floppy --- not a easy task
but could be done.
