I tried using Copy II Plus 7.3 to patch ProDOS exactly as described in
a previous append to the Info-Apple list, searching for the hex string
CA D0 04 C9 18 92, and changing the 18 to a 40. It found the string OK,
but after I made the change and ran the Copy II Plus FORMAT utility,
I tried to catalog the disk and it still showed 280 blocks on the disk,
instead of 320.

Also, I just purchased a PC Transporter, and so far I'm very happy with
it. All but one of the MS/DOS programs I've tried runs without a
glitch. The one that failed was IBM's FTTERM product, which allows
a PC/DOS machine to emulate either a VT100, VT220, 3101, or a 3270 with
both XMODEM and IND$FILE file transfer protocols. I can configure it OK,
but when I try to boot it up, it displays the message "Loading
Configuration FIle", and then hangs the system, with the disk drive
spinning. Has anyone tried this program with the PCT and got it to run?
I can run Kermit and Procomm OK, but they don't have full 3270
emulation. I'm using DOS 3.2 with a Datalink 2400 baud modem.

Can the PC Transporter handle Prodos 40-track disks? Also, I found a
small bug in the TRANSFER utility that comes with PCT. It
can read files from the PRODOS /RAM disk, but an error occurs
when you try to catalog hhe RAM drive.
