ProDOS Users Disk & Manual

This package is the first release of the ProDOS manual from Apple, although it is old, it can still be utilized. It ships with the old version of ProDOS, version 1.1.1. The newest version is ProDOS 8 v1.9. Other than ProDOS 1.1.1 and ProDOS 8v1.9, there are no later versions. The ProDOS users disk, and later versions called the Apple II system Utilities offer the following (and more):

Formatting disks, copy disk, verify, erase disk, Copy Files, Delete Files, Verify Files, Create Directories.

ProDOS 1.1.1

The last release of ProDOS BEFORE the IIgs. This version is 100% usable and recommended for the Apple ][+ and //e. It should not be used on a IIgs if later versions of ProDOS, (Now known as ProDOS 8) are available.

After the IIgs came into existence, ProDOS became ProDOS 8,as opposed to ProDOS 16, (GS/OS). The versions mentioned are from System Disk releases V1.0 thru 4.0. They should NOT be used on any hard disk Floppy or other ProDOS volume that has Apple IIgs System Software release V.5.0 or higher installed. Period!

ProDOS 8 V1.7 and higher can be used on Any Apple II that can run ProDOS 8. If IIgs system software 5.0 or greater is installed on the volume, nothing lower than 1.7 can be used.

This is the version of ProDOS 8 that ships with Apple IIgs System Software 6.0. It has many new internal features and requires and enhanced //e or later to run.

This is the same as version 2.0.1 with a bug fix dealing with the amount of volumes being used when dealing with a //e or //c.

ProDOS 8 V1.0 - 1.6

ProDOS 8 V1.7 - 1.9

ProDOS 8 V2.0.1

ProDOS 8 V2.02
