Congradulations! I picked up one this weekend for $5

it works. If you can tell me how to format a disk on the 3.5" drive and
then copy the ProDOS to it, I'll make you a copy.
Joe, you'll need either the System Disk or a good ProDOS disk utility
program such as Copy II+. Apple stripped the format command from ProDOS
(whereas it was conveniently built-in to DOS 3.3) so you have to use a
separate utility to do so.
Both the System Disk and Copy II+ have format features. If I'm not
mistaken a company called Beagle Bros. made an add-on FORMAT command
(ProDOS was very extensible...it provided for adding
user-developed commands and device drivers).
