[Blindapple] copying Dos to non-talking disk

[Brian Giles]

Hi Blake,

I got it to work. I put the echo2e.dsk disk in drive 1 and atgames.dsk in drive 2. when you boot up the emulater it should say "ready". When it does, type RUN MENU,D2 and hit return. You will get a menu with all the games on the at games disk.

HTH,
Brian
