  12. First of all, there's no 8-bit System Disk which includes the new ProDOS 8
  13. (2.0.1).  However, it will run nicely on a //e (I've done it).  You'll
  14. need both the ProDOS 8 and the new BASIC.SYSTEM 1.5.
  15.  
  16. ProDOS 8 2.0 and later require 65C02s, which means that they've probably
  17. tightened code by using more advanced operations.  That way, they'd be
  18. able to add new features without growing even bigger.
