I just bought one from them in February. These cards come with a one- year warantee. They also carry DISK ][ compatible disk controller that boot both 13- and 16- sector diskettes. Early versions of ProDOS will run on the ][ Plus -- I have version 1.0.2 and have had no problems with it so far. However, it is no longer sold. I got my copy from an authorized Apple dealer who just duplicated an old master and gave it to me without documentation for no charge. I have no connection with JDR other than having been a satisfied customer for some years now. -- Paul Sander (408) 734-9822 | Do YOU get nervous when a paul@Atherton.COM | sys{op,adm,prg,engr} says {decwrl,sun,hplabs!hpda}!athertn!paul | "oops..." ?
