DOS ENHANCEMENTS

After the “6” sequence is typed

on a non-autostart Apple (the part

won’t show on the screen), your system drive

should rattle for a moment and then Sit there

quietly spinning.

In both cases, the drive will end up waiting for

you to insert a diskette; so indulge it by

inserting your DOS master diskette (not the

Enhancer diskette). Once the door is closed,

the system will “boot” (if the diskette is okay)

and eventually display a “]” or “>“ prompt. The

first indicates you are in Applesoft BASIC, and

the second indicates you are in Integer BASIC.

Both are okay for these instructions. When

booting an original DOS diskette from Apple,

alot of other stuff will probably happen before

you get the BASIC prompt. This just means that

the “hello” program has executed (harmless). If

you never get the BASIC prompt (“]” or “>“), it

may be wise to try another diskette.

Once you get the BASIC prompt, type:

CATALOG

and DOS will list all the files on your DOS

diskette.

Look through the list and locate the file

“MASTER CREATE”. If CATALOG stops before anoth-

er BASIC prompt appears, that means there are

more files than will fit on the screen, press:
