I do not have a copy of Prodos on a floppy and need it.  Yes I could order it 
snail mail from the diminishing number of suppliers but....I am the original 
backroom tinkerer and want to see if I can get my older boxes talking w/o the 
need to resort to snail mail  (I will give up eventually, but for now...)   I 
recently got my grubby hands on an old Central Point Deluxe Options Card.  For 
those who do not know this is a ISA card for the PC that daisy-chains on the 
floppy port and allows one to copy or write different formats including Atari, 
Commodore Mac, annd even Apple (on a 360k drive only). I even found the copy 
SW on the net that drives this puppy. I loaded it on a 486 and son of a gun it 
works!

Now, my idea: does anyone have a GS up on the net and can they email, ftp 
etc a copy of ProDos? I was thinking a disk immage of whatever  that 
also included the opsys might work....

I have a copy already on an Alltec drive that so far I cannot get to so I 
already own it...  Yeah, I'm the guy with the Franklin 1200 (and now a buncha 
other Apple HW, but no SW :(

     The ProDOS disk images PDUtil.dsk and PDUtil.nib now include the patch to
make them bootable on Franklin 1000 series computers. You can download them
from ACN Florida or ACN Tarnover at ...

ftp://24.96.48.134:6502/Cabi_Archives/Utilities/
ftp://tarnover.dyndns.org/cabi/Utilities/

(The updated versions have also been uploaded to Ground.)


     If your new card can transfer disk image files to diskette, one of the
formats (.dsk or .nib) should work and you will have a bootable ProDOS (v1.9)
diskette with several useful utilities.
