Hi, i just started playing around with the IIgs (in Emulation) and have a few questions about this system, which eventually someone is able to answer:
1. As far as i understand, ProDOS is the base operating system with GS/OS as the graphical shell on top of it, similar to the combination of MS-DOS/Windows 3.1?
2. Anyone has experience with MAME's apple2gs emulation? I had the following issues:
- Created a empty, 32 MB ProDOS image with AppleCommander and converted this image to CHD.
- Run the apple2gs emulation on MAME with the following commandline:
- Installed System 6.01 in another emulator (GSplus) without issues
- Booted the Image in MAME, but got the error shown below
- Seems that for the Apple II SCSI Card a driver is needed when using a low-level emulator like MAME/MESS. Anyone has this driver disk, was unable to find it with my Google Research (only found the Utility disks)

mame apple2gs -window -prescale 8 -sl7 scsi -skip_gameinfo -speed 2 -hard hd32.chd -flop3 install.2m
which bootet the installer successfully, but no disk was found- Installed System 6.01 in another emulator (GSplus) without issues
