  Well, Apple has recently put out Pro-DOS which seems to have a number
of nice(r) feature, as compared to DOS 3.3 (not that hard to beat).
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.
