| | ProDOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | ProDOS, or the Professional Disk Operating System, was arguably the most popular operating system for the Apple II series of computers upon its release in 1983. | | | ProDOS 16 was written to support the new Apple IIgs computer, although it was soon replaced by GS/OS. | | | ProDOS was released by Apple to address specific issues relating to connecting peripheral devices such as hard disk drives and third-party non-Disk II floppy disk drives. |

| | ProDOS was designed to be a replacement for DOS 3.3, and added many features not part of original DOS 3.3 such as support for disks other than the 5.25" drive, as well as directories and timestamping of files. | | | ProDOS also has the ability to not reside on a disk when first formatted (at obvious disk space savings), but be copied on later and the disk will be bootable if copied correctly to the root directory as well as an application to run at boot. | | | ProDOS was comissioned to be the 'Professional Disk Operating System', abbreviated 'ProDOS', and was first part of the Apple III's 'Sophisticated Operating System' (SOS, for an unfortunate acronym related to the general state of the Apple III). |

| | ProDOS 8 1.3 Warning: This is not a stable version of ProDOS due to an illegal 65C02 instruction which was added. | | | ProDOS 1.0.2 o Changed instructions used in interrupt entry routines on the global page so the accumulator would not be destroyed. | | | First, ProDOS 8 should be able to boot into a program as large as 39.75K, but was returning an error if the ".SYSTEM" program was larger than 38K. |

| | Apple II History Chap 15 |
| | In 1984, when ProDOS was released for the Apple II as a "Professional Disk Operating System", the same file structure was used. | | | But ProDOS 16 version 1.0 was somewhat of a temporary fix to the problem of disk access for 16-bit software. | | | System Software 5.0 for the IIGS was introduced in May 1989. |

| | Apple II Csa2 FAQs: DOS & ProDOS, Part 6/25 |
| | Creating bootable ProDOS diskettes is more bother than creating bootable DOS 3.3 diskettes because ProDOS does not have any way to duplicate itself from memory-- i.e., it has no INIT command. | | | ProDOS is in a file on a bootable ProDOS disk and so, usually, is the ProDOS 'connection' to BASIC, named "BASIC.SYSTEM". | | | The MLI call returns with the carry flag set and an error code in the accumulator if an error occurred; so, a simple error check (the Branch if Carry Set instruction) is often the next instruction which is executed. |

| | The neat thing about the PRODOS file startup method is that you can start the emulator from an external 3.5" floppy by double clicking the PRODOS file. | | | Double clicking the PRODOS file is the easiest way to start the emulator. | | | It is basically the same software that allows MacOS to read or format ProDOS floppies. |

| | ProDOS 8 Technical Note #26 |
| | Apple has a large section of memory reserved, but my investigations reveal that this memory (in a language card, where it is doubly valuable since it stays put when main memory is swapped) seems to be unused. | | | System software use of this area should be denoted by the absence of /RAM. | | | Apple reserves memory for system software so that it can expand without breaking applications. |
