- I think someone has already listed them, but here they are again:
-
- - the version number is 2.0.2. KVERSION at $BFFF is $22.
- - Slot 3, Drive 2 will never be used for a remapped SmartPort device
- (always reserved for /RAM).
- - The "RELOCATION/CONFIGURATION ERROR" message is in uppercase again
- for Apple II+ users. It also uses a BMI rather than BRA so that it
- behaves predictably if you try to launch P8 2.0.2 on a 6502 processor.
- - The copyright message at $BF40 starts with a $00 so that the sample
- code to remove /RAM (in the P8 Technical Reference) works if there are
- 14 devices present.
- - The NMI vector ($3FB) is initialized to $00 $40 $00 (BRK, RTI, except
- on a IIgs) instead of JMP $FF59.
