I believe the original question meant "Where would you fit all of this
new stuff IN MEMORY?!!"  There are about five or six unused pages left 
in the language card memory space (where Prodos resides) most of which 
are in $D000 bank two.  You can't afford to take away any more program
space from regular memory, and would lose compatability with everything
if you tried.  The only option remaining (which I had heard rumors that 
Prodos 2.0 was going to be, but knew that Apple wanted to avoid doing
as long as possible) would be to got to the auxiliary memory bank and
use the language card space there too.  That would make the new Prodos
incompatable with any computers other than a 128k //e or //c, thus the
obvious reluctance to do so.  It would also probably have trouble with 
many current programs that use extended memory and have heretofore used
that ram space with reckless abandon.  =)  However, such a monster WOULD
make the 8 bit apples with 128k or more a much more useful machine by
making it easier to use the aux bank of memory.  Since Prodos would 
have to be handling page switching anyways, it could fascilitate direct
reads into aux memory and programs that run from banks other than bank
zero.  That's just my nickel's worth.  (Come on, what can you get for
two cents these days anyways?!!  =)

Someone was asking how to use an Apple (specifically in ProTerm) on a VAX/VMS

in on line 1:
pr /^k^[[D^R^H/ pr /^K^[[C^R^U/ pr /^K^[[B^R^J/ pr /^K^[[A^R^K/
In the TPU editor, type apple-1 and watch the action.  Your arrow keys will now
function fine within the editor.  You must do this EVERY TIME you go into the
editor.  Also, be using vt-100 emulation or better, and hit ctrl-W whenever you
doubt the emmulation put the text where it belongs.  Also, ctrl-B is the DO
key, which can give you access to the higher commands.  (type "FIND" instead of
pressing the FIND key!)  Hope someone gets some use out of this.

        I have a Preference Western Digital 40 Meg HD hooked up to my
IIgs and i'm having problems, the second partition has been really messed
up recently and i copied all the files off of it.. I tried to format it
with many programs but all said "Write Protected" (A Hard Drive?) So
i finnaly got Prosel to work and format it, i used Wings with System
6.0 to "verify" it and it verifys the blocks from 0 to 40960...
When it gets into the 39000's it slows down drastically and takes up
to about 1hr or more to finish, then theres a VERY large amount of
"bad blocks".. I tried to reformat it with Wings and it still believes
the drive is write protected.. I've run it through every test and repair
i can find on Prosel and they all refuse to do anymore work because they
can't find any errors.. I don't want to reinstall more stuff and then
when i go to back it up be told "The disk HD2 might be damaged, please
move everythin to another location"...
I'm running it through a CMS scsi card which partitions it through
jumpers.. (ITs still technically a 40meg partition, the scsi card
does the partitioning for Prodos...)
I'm not to sure i ever did a low level format (Have no programs to
do that with)
And i've NEVER parked it except for the occasion when my friend brought
his Revision D Scsi card over and we tried to park it.. Someone told me
i need a driver for it.. All help would be Greatly appreciated as i'm
chock full on the other 20meg patition and trying to write a BBS...
 
Also, my GS tends to overheat very often if i leave the cover on it
.. If anyone is selling a fan i'm looking to buy one...

Apple announced at KansasFest that the LaserWriter driver in System 6.01
will handle Postscript level 2 "colour" printing, which is, I believe,
what the problem was with the IIf and IIg LaserWriters. So the answer is
a definite "probably"  :-)

Sounds like a revision "A" card to me. I've been told that an Apple

Ok, here is my problem. I have a 170 MEG scsi hard drive with an Apple ][ High
speed scsi card. One of my partitions i use for storing all of my archives has
developed some bad blocks. So i re-formatted it (using the finder). The bad
block count went down to 9 (it was in the high teens before reformatting).
I used Prosel to put all the bad blocks into a bad block file. That was ok. The
thing that is worring me is that every time i check for bad blocks, I get a
different number. On average it's 8, but it can be anything from 7-10. Most of
the block numbers are the same, but there are some that appear only sometimes.
This this mean my drive is rooted? Or the Finder isn't scanning properly every
time.

The drive is new, and I could get it replaced. When the drive was origonally
partitiond (with ADU), there were NO bad blocks anywhere. That is, all of the
bad blocks appeared after all my software was put on it. (The only thing that
writes to the partition is Proterm 3. I don't think that this has caused the
bad blocks.) So what should I do? Return the drive, or "It's just one of those
things"?

Please reply in E-Mail, and auto reply does not work.

  Is a WYSIWYG word processor really critial?  Why not get hold of a text-based
word processor that can use the proportional fonts on an ImageWriter II?  They
look better than the graphic-based fonts (IMHO) and take less than half the
time to print.
  Of course, if you're looking to generate a wide variety of font sizes and
styles for you thesis, I guess you don't have much of an option but to use a
WYSIWYG word processor.

40MB Applied Ingenuity Innerdrive
6MB Cirtech PlusRam GS-8

The ram card checks out fine using Claris' memory test program (Cirtech's
test program also clears it). The problem also occurs whether I use the
Innerdrive device driver or not. It also occurs when booting off the System
Disk floppy.

I have also noticed today that if I let my startup macros finish the problem
does not seem to occur. [My startup macro simply displays a message for a fixed
length of time, or until a key is pressed. If a key is pressed, then it is
passed on]. Also, it does not matter whether it is the first time or more, it
seems just as likely to occur.

The problem only started happening when I installed System 6.0 on my hard disk.
If I boot off System 5.0.4 then everything is fine. Booting System 6.0 off
floppy doesn't help. I don't have either Easy Access of CloseView installed, so
they can't be the culprits. As for the ADB connectors, I think not since the
problem is repeatable, and does not happen randomly. Two of the main cases
that I have found this problem occurring are as follows:

1.	Using the Rastan patch program to run Rastan of my hard disk. Once
started, the keyboard is totally disabled. Everytime I try this happens.

2.	Using the Duplicate command under the Orca shell.

That's all I can come up with for the moment. 

P.S. Not all Prodos 8 applications are affected.

Well, there is a write register you have to enable to have the chip automagi-

Hi there,
     First, it's been about a year and a half since I REALLY used the Apple
IIe/c/IIGS, etc.  However, my brother uses the Apple IIE/c clone that I
use, and the most frequently used word processor next to Apple Works that I
used was GEOS (Graphical Environment Operating Systems) put out by Berkley
Softworks...and I LOVED it sooo much, I went and purchased GeoPublish.  

     GEOS offers an COOL WP program, and painting program along with other
features in one integrated package.  The word processor has plenty of
fonts, styles, etc.  As a matter of fact it was stated in an add that it is
the most "Mac-Like" Apple II program out on the market.  Anyway, I used it
for school and it I LOVED IT, simple because of it's ease of use, and
fonts.  It's ALL mouse driven and has pulldowns, etc.  

     Hope that was somewhat of a help...
