Bill Balam Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I have a mid-1980s Apple II GS and I use it for the data base as it keep track of my newspaper subscription. I love the way I can sort by the different field AND I print on continuous feed paper and labels. Just recently, when I put the start up disk in, it said "cannot load prodos". I tried another disk and it allowed me to go to the start menu, however, when I flipped the disk over to the program side, it went to the getting started menu saying the date needed to be later than 3/20/83 and then it said to it "return"... I did and a bunch of letter and numbers appeared such as A=0020 X-00F8 Y=0029 S=1FS3 D=000 P=75 B=00 K=00 M=04 Q=80 L=1 m=1 x=1 e=1 AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY MEAN. At this time, I feel the computer works but it seems it is the disks. I would like to know if there are some "disks out there somewhere" that I could obtain. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Vivian beacon@nhnews.biz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 That happens when the computer crashes into the monitor (BRK opcode) - prolly went off the rails somewhere. That's unusual, AppleWorks doesn't generally do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Adamson Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 If all your disks are doing it, you may need to clean your drive heads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
