Among these is a new hierarchical file system. My problem is that it seems Pro-DOS will not run (so I've heard) on floppy disk cards that are not apple originals. Lo, I've tried a friend's copy on my non-std machine, and it hangs. Does anybody know whether this (mis-?) feature was intended, and how/why it works like that? More importantly, any suggestions on how to get it to go? My case is an especially irregular one since I happen to run a home-made apple II+ compatible. Among other things, this setup does not afford me the possibility of getting a new "real" controller card.
