You’re almost ready to use virtual drives, courtesy of David Schmidt’s VSDRIVE<\/a>, which is included with ADTPro<\/a>. You can also use ADTPro itself to transfer disk images to actual disks, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

To access the virtual drives, you need to boot from the A2CLOUD disk. To get that, you need ADTPro\u00a0to transfer it to an Apple II floppy. If you’ve already got ADTPro on an Apple II disk, boot it (choose Serial if prompted), and skip the video and the paragraph which follows it.\u00a0Or, if you’ve got some other means of turning disk image files into floppies, you can download the 140K A2CLOUD boot disk<\/a> or the 800K A2CLOUD boot disk<\/a>, and skip the rest of this post.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have ADTPro on an Apple II disk already, you need to get it running on your Apple II via a process called bootstrapping. Here’s a video to show you how to do that, or you can read the instructions below it.<\/p>\n
