Howdy -
I used to have a ROM01 GS from 1988 (back when it cost $3,050 for
the entire package deal! GS, 12" monitor, ImageWriter II, GS/OS 3.0? AppleWorks
2.1, Paint Shop GS, and a few other apps/games) until a few years ago when
it somehow disappeared during a move, I think. Along with my guitar. ;)
(I guess it saved the world from the agony of putting up with my tunes ;) )
Well, I just found KEGS for UNIX and KEGS32 for Windows, and ROM
images, and some apps... works great for the most part! I'm very impressed.
But now I'm curious about something. Years ago, I once learned
Pascal and used Apple Pascal on a single drive IIe for a class that taught
structured programming.
I just found some Apple Pascal disk images on Asimov (I think) and
the core tools are spread over two disk images.
KEGS only emulates 2 5.25" floppy drives (s6,d1 and s6,d2) for
historical reasons, I believe. Is there any way to have yet another floppy
in another slot/drive so that I could save my work files on without needing
to do disk swaps?
Or is it possible to format a Pascal HD partition (as a disk image)
somehow...? I noticed GS/OS System 6.0.1 had a Pascal FST but when I do
an initialize HD volume action, I only get ProDOS or HFS as choices.
Thoughts or ideas?
