Slot 5 disconnected. The program that I am refering to was included on a disk containing some PD software distributed by APPLE. The file is shown as FREEWRITER in the catalog. However, when booted, the menu says FReDWriter. This is an old version but I recently ordered the newest version directly from Hands-On-Training. Are we talking about the same program? The new docs tend to refer to the program as FREEWRITER or FReDWRITER interchangably. I booted into DAVEX and ran the FREEWRITER/FReDWRITER program with the same results. I cannot access slot 5 by referring to either .51 in DAVEX, or to the prefix of the disk in the drive in either DAVEX or KERMIT. Copy //+ doesn't show slot 5 as disconnect but give a NO DISK IN DRIVE message even though there is a disk present. I have an Apple //C with an Apple undisk 3.5 attached. Any ideas?
