I am trying to use the Pro/Part ProDOS software to configure a ProDOS hard drive using a 3.5-inch Apple Drive as the "hard drive". This is a Smartport drive (S5,D1 on a IIGS. I get thru all the steps described in the readme, run INSTALL with the new PDOSHD.DVR, but when CP/M reboots it says No PRO_PARTITION found. Is this whole approach doomed to fail or should it be be working...?

Steven has seen this and vaguely recalls being able to do this in the distant
past. I'm way too busy with non-computer things at the moment to set up and

After a number of decimal places, nobody gives a damn.
