I was NOT under the impression that it looked at (or could look at) the details of the 16k card, except that it existed. In order to use ProDOS with an Apple II clone, you would have to either patch the places where it looks in the cards, or buy gen-u-ine apple cards. Personally, I think this was not such a great decision on Apple's part since it will deter the overall acceptance of ProDOS, but then we've been over this before, haven't we? Greg Dudek
