Does not abort on drive errors, but instead lists and allows launching of all readable files.Displays the slot and drive of each device.Displays file types and allows launching Applesoft Basic, Binary, Text exec, and GS/OS S16 files via Basic.System.Displays and allows selection of all files on a drive, not just System files and directories like previous launchers.Displays and quickly scrolls through up to 2,733 files per directory.Allows files to be selected by typing the first letter of their filename.Allows drives to be selected directly by slot using number keys 1-7.Runs on all Apple II computers and CPUs: 6502, 65c02 or 65816.ProDOS 2.4 includes a new program launcher with many features and improvements over earlier versions of ProDOS: ProDOS splash screen date of 16-8-16 because Woz.Unlike earlier versions of Basic.System which hang on Integer ROM Apple ][+ and then quits back to the Bitsy Bye program launcher. All Apple II computers with modern USB storage devices or hard drives can now support up to 14 ProDOS volumes per device.For the first time, the features and improvements of ProDOS 2.x are available on 6502-based Apple ][+, and un-enhanced Apple //e computers.The ProDOS 2.4 interrupt manager reduces latency and memory-use, resulting in faster, consistent interrupt response.ProDOS 2.4 is smaller than ProDOS 2.0.3 and loads faster.When run from the Finder, the Solid-Apple key selects whether ProDOS 2.4 will Quit to Bitsy Bye or the Finder.Now Apple II programs can use a single version of ProDOS to boot any Apple II and access all storage volumes. ProDOS 2.4 includes both the 6502 compatibility of ProDOS 1.x and the slot remapping functionality of ProDOS 2.x.New ‘Bitsy Bye’ program launcher is built into ProDOS 2.4 and allows users to run SYS, S16, BIN, BAS, and TXT files.New ‘Bitsy Boot’ utility allows programs to quit to the 8-bit launcher or return to the 16-bit GS/OS Finder.Preserves GS/OS dormant state – Now multiple ProDOS games or programs can be booted and still return to GS/OS.ProDOS 2.4 adds new features for all Apple II computers, including the 1977 Integer ROM Apple II. Today, the 30-year anniversary of the Apple IIGS, a new version of the ProDOS operating system has been released. New version: ProDOS 2.4.2 is available here. TechAlliance Products Catalog Spring 1989.Cyber Jack: Synergistic & Robert Clardy.You get a potent package if you put Copy II+, CiderPress, and ADTpro or some kind floppy emulator like CFFA3000 in your toolkit. But I make it a point to always learn something new about it once in a while. I grew up learning and DOS 3.3 on an Apple II+. And then there was the desire to interchange data with Macs. I suppose shrinkit came about because of the then-still-necessary need to compact and compress stuff for 300/1200 baud dialups/BBS'es/newsgroups. And you won't see anything grand like WinRAR come to the platform. The resources of the machine are limiting. I strongly believe that archiving and working with archiving tools and utilities on a II series is a tedious experience because of the limitations of disk space and the ability of the hardware to generate detailed comprehensive menus. 30+ years ago I used BASIC, and floppies with just files. None of the tutorial that I've seen engages partitions or even directories.įirst principles seem to be around shrinkit archives of which I have no experience, and I'm a total newb to Apple II. Now I can't see the target and destination at the same time? Any dialogs I've gone through to add a file, don't offer me anything around selecting where to add it? which directory, in which partition?Ĭiderpress presents partitions as directories in a flat structure and directories in the same flat structure. Seems like I have to create a partition on the compact flash card first from the Apple hardware. I want to copy all of the partition in the image to the compact flash card, or to a partition within the compact flash card. There are 4 partitions on the compact flash card. There is a single partition in the image. I'm working with a compact flash card, and an image. Seems like you have to extract files from an image before you can add them to another device/image/archive? That is astonishing, as I expect to ruin everything that way, given the multitude of options when extracting. first principles seem to be around shrinkit archives of which I have no experience, and I'm a total newb to Apple II. Maybe I'm assuming features would be there that aren't.
