I have a request, can someone here hack Miner 2 for a large number of lives so I can see all the levels? I've loved this game since I was a kid but I could never get very far in it,

Is Miner 2 unique to the Apple? I think every other system got the official sequel instead.

Depends on who you are, for me, using the .dsk image (as a single line
on linux or macos):

printf "\xAD" | dd of=miner2.dsk bs=1 seek=$(((2*16+1)*256+0x38))
count=1 conv=notrunc

The likely explanation for that is the Text Conversion option is not set to "Don't convert".
