This is COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!  The only version of ProDOS (now known as
ProDOS 8) that used 65c02 opcodes was version 1.3, and that was admitted
to be a bug.  What ProDOS DOES require is 64K of RAM (since version 1.0.2;
1.0.1 and earlier would run in 48K).  This means that for a ][+, you have to
have a language card or equivalent RAM card in slot 0.  I have a ][+ (my only
][) that runs ProDOS 8 Version 1.9 without a problem.
