System Masters,
how do you proceed to copy files from a ProDOS disk to a DOS 3.3 disk,
or vice versa, using only native Apple ][ software?

It's something I used to do, but I have forgotten how, apparently...

Thanks,
Life.

Copy II+ 7.2 does the job for me.

If you want to do this using 5.25" drives, then the Chameleon Translator
can do this for you. It runs under ProDOS, and will read and write
between CP/M, Pascal, Dos 3.3, and ProDOS (also SOS) 5.25" disks.

Get it, and all my other software from my web site:

Thanks, that's the kind of utility I was looking after!

Although I have already transferred the files I needed to move with Copy
II Plus, I've played with Chameleon a bit and it's a nifty program. And
it's nice to learn that I can easily transfer data between OSes other
than DOS and ProDOS, too!

On the ProDOS User's Disk is a utility that will copy from DOS 3.3 to
ProDOS.

Thanks, you remind me that it is what I used back in the day to do
such conversions!

Not sure whether to be happy that such memories are re-emerging vividly
in my mind or worried that I had completely forgotten about it... :)
