This may have been beaten to death by now, but here goes:
 
There is a common misconception that Prodos does not run on II+'s. 
Prodos works JUST FINE on a II+... it is the extensions to BASIC that 
don't work.  Thus, you can operate SOME programs on an Apple II+ in 
Prodos (Kyan Pascal + KIX is a good example).
 
In short --
 
  PRODOS.SYSTEM ----- works
  BASIC.SYSTEM  ----- fails
  APW.SYSTEM    ----- fails (appleworks)
 
By the way, be aware that a bug in PRODOS makes it trash the disk (NOT 
NICE!)  There is a fix, but I don't have it -- its a *BUG*, not a 
"feature" like the ROM checksum.
