Hi,

I'm trying to set up a disk for use with 2QWK. I need to patch it using qfix
in order to work with certain file names. This isn't the issue I'm having but
led me to a search for a ProDOS master disk image because according to the qfix
docs I should be patching files suck as p8 and pro.fst. I can't find a disk
image or shk file that has those. I've been looking through the files here:

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple...asters/prodos/

but haven't had any luck. In fact, none of the disks I've looked at even have
a system folder. Can someone point me to an image or shk (pref shk) that has
these?

Much thanks,
Doug
Regards,
Doug

Those aren't ProDOS master disk elements... those are GSOS artifacts
that are used to support ProDOS. So if you were running GSOS, or
looking at a GSOS master disk (images/gs/os/gsos/System_6.01.zip) you'd
see those files. But they weren't ever part of a ProDOS 8 master disk.

That's explain why I couldn't find them! Odd that I didn't see a reference to
GSOS in the docs.

Assuming you mean 8-bit ProDOS, and not 16-bit ProDOS:

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple....4%201987).dsk
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple...2%20System.dsk

Those oughta work...

-uso.

2QWK is a Prodos 8 application. Prodos 1.9 and Prodos 2.03 are
available at that download site. Cider Press will allow you to
decompress to a disk image. Qfix will work with 2.03. Unless you
prefer to work in GSOS which you will also have to update with Qfix.
