I know of only two computer sites on campus of dozens that have Apple IIs at all. One is only accessible to math students. The other is owned by the College of Education, but open to anyone. They have an assortment of computers, including 3 ROM 01 512K IIGSes. Of these, only one has so much as a 3.5" drive--a second has two 5.25" drives and the third has just one 5.25" drive! I wanted to borrow terminal software for the IIe in the lab with a modem (this was before I got a modem), and the ops had no idea what I was talking about! (They only use the machine for Fredmail, which has its own terminal software, I suppose.) I'm trying to organize II users at the University of Illinois so we might improve the II condition here. BTW, to all of you at the U of I, the meeting's on IRC channel 1000 tomorrow, 10 February at 7 PM CST! If any of the rest of you care to join in, feel free to do so, but announce where you're from. I want to get a head count of the II-computin' Illini while I'm on the system tomorrow night. So much for digression. Do you suppose Apple File Exchange could read the ProDOS partition, or will it sense the Mac partition first? If I can get to the II stuff, I could transfer them to Mac 3.5" disks, to my mainframe account, to ProDOS 5.25" disks that I can use. Or am I SOL? Thanx in advance for any advice!
