BZZZZZZTTTTT!!! Thank you for playing! (Always wanted to do that ;-)

Versions of ProDOS prior to version 1.1 would load and run on a 48K
][+ I did some of my first program development with ProDOS 1.0.1 and
loading into a 48K machine is a feature I miss very much.  You would
be surprised just how many ][+'s there are out there that don't even
have a language card.  For more info on the differences in versions of
ProDOS 8, check out ProDOS technote #23.
