- There were never any ROM upgrades for the II Plus. The only upgrade I
- can think of is for the boot code, to upgrade from the 13-sector to
- 16-sector ROM--and if you're still using 13-sector ROMs, you can't
- boot even DOS 3.3, let alone ProDOS.
-
- Odds are nobody is using 13-sector boot ROMs anymore. As long as you
- have 64K, you can use any version of ProDOS 8 up to (and including)
- 1.9. (v2.0 and 2.0.1 require a 128K enhanced IIe as a minimum.)
