Yes, ProDOS is Now Being Shipped

We bought an Apple //e last weekend, and it came with system disks for both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS.  There was no DOS Reference Manual, although a little of DOS is mentioned in the Owner's manual.  There is a very nice ProDOS User's Manual, 150 pages of text and photos and drawings.  The dealer says he still has no word on ProDOS as a separate product.


I Can't Believe He Typed The Whole Thing!

One of our readers took a few evenings and typed in the source code of the whole CX ROM from the Apple //e Reference Manual Addendum.  This is the code from $C100 through $CFFC, which is listed on pages 23-49.  He added some of his own comments to the source, which more fully explain what is going on in there.  The source for the F8 ROM is on the disk too, but without many comments (pages 3-18 of the addendum).  Naturally, the source files are in the format of the S-C Macro Assembler.

We think having the source of these ROMs on disk could enhance the //e in two ways:  you can make a larger size copy of the listings, so they can be read in normal room light; and you can experiment with improvements to the code.  If you have a PROM burner that will burn 2764s, I think you can even replace the chips.  If you'd like a copy, send us $15:  we'll mail the disk to you, and pass along a percentage to the energetic typist.
