never used a 3.5-inch disk drive on my 2 E (was that even possible?). – Will the
800k Prodos images work on the emulated extended 2 E? I ask because the emulator
hangs the system every time I try to boot one using the command: mess apple2ee
–flop1 whatever.po”. Or at least, it has done so far. I think there might be
some background process that’s messing up mess (hah) somehow, and I can try and
figure out what it is. But I realise I’m maybe not even clear on the
capabilities of the extended E. This is more than just a 2 E with 128k of ram,
right? That’s the system I used to have, with the 80 column/memory expansion
card. Do I have to in some way tell the emulator that –flop1 is a different sort
of disk drive?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

used to use an Apple II E in the late 80s and early 90s. I was pretty young
then. I’ve been a PC guy for a long time now, but someone recently sent me the
Mess emulator and Apple II-E Extended rom along with a lot of disk images, and I
found the address for this list in the archive. It’s really neat that people are
doing this. So far I’ve had success in getting Apple + Echo emulation a few
times, but the emulator is just as likely, it seems, to hang my Windows 10
machine. Well, at least it works at all. I must say, hearing that Echo voice
again after so many years is uncanny. I forgot how much that guy sounds like
he’s singing, especially in extended speech mode.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

have any tips on getting the emulator to work consistently? I haven’t yet
figured out the pattern of the hanging. So far I haven’t gotten a single prodos
disk image to work, but I don’t know if there’s something I’m missing or what?
Is the command line for running the prodos disk images the same? To be perfectly
honest, I mostly just want to play the Eamon games. The port for PC is nice but
it won’t work on Windows 10, to my knowledge. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
