Getting programs to a IIe PDS Card

[Realitystorm]

@Realitystorm I did read through your guides and were helpful, but I was never able to create an exactly 32mb partition or have your images mount. As mentioned above any single partition that I made ProDOS that did not also have a mac partition never showed up. And the Apple HD utility would not allow me to create the correct size partition.

Hi Eric, did you put the ProDOS extension in your extensions folder?   It's in the extensions folder of my bootable images and on the Apple IIe card's setup disks in the system folder.   Without that your Macintosh system can't "see" ProDOS partitions and they won't mount on your desktop.   When you say "any single partition that I made ProDOS that did not also have a mac partition never showed up", I assume you mean when you formatted a drive you had to have both prodos and mac partitions?

For the 1k smaller I had the same issue, the max size for a ProDOS partition is 32,767KB not 32MB

Well progress! I used CiderPress to make a new drive 1 kb smaller. Opened the image from apple-2.com, select all, copy, open the new drive I created and "special" pasted them in preserving prefix.

After that I booted off the FloppyEMU again, opened Copy II - did a sector copy to the ProDOS partition on the Mac. Relabeled the drive to FE (to match the other image) - rebooted and walla - it works!

Regardless I'm happy and I'll zip up and upload this to the RaSCSI Mac Garden page - works with BlueSCSI/Arduscsino too.

Can you please provide a link to your premade images? I can not find it on macintosh garden nor on a post you made about it here: (post #2) https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/mystic-options.596/

I'll have to check, I thought I reduced the prodos images by 1k, for the same reason you did. For some reason you can only have a 32767kb partition, not a 32768kb one when working with the apple IIE card
