    Wishing you all a happy new year!

    I've been an avid Apple II fan for 40 years and that's why I bought a PCPI-Z80 card with 20 MHz from GGLABS a few weeks ago.
    Therefore I wanted to put Steven Hirsch's ProDOS / PCPI-CP/M hard disk driver into operation.

    Unfortunately I can't find any working ProPartition disks - the versions on asimov.net are broken and the Apple-CPM group page on yahoo (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/applecpm) is down.
    Otherwise I cannot find any working ProPartition disks on the Internet.

    Can somebody please provide me the ProPartition floppy disks and the current drivers for the PCPI-Z80 card?

    That would be super nice!

    Thank you and best regards
    Ralf

    I have all of Steve's working Pro-Part disks on my website and also recently published a walk-through for making a bootable CP/M system on a ProDOS partition from scratch.
    The walkthrough is here: https://planemo.org/2020/06/18/bootable-cp-m-system-on-the-cffa3000-compact-flash-hd-for-the-apple-ii/
    All of the software needed for the installation (including an already-created bootable CFFA image) is here:

    Good luck,

    I have the working pro-part software and I also recently published a walkthrough for installing a bootable CP/M system on the Applicard. The walkthrough and links to download the software are located here:
    https://planemo.org/2020/06/18/bootable-cp-m-system-on-the-cffa3000-compact-flash-hd-for-the-apple-ii/
    The link to the software is at the .zip file link at 'What You Need, Item #7' in the walkthrough.
    Good luck,
    Eric N.
