To patch ProDOS to run on a Franklin ACE 1000, 1100, 1200, etc.
and probably MANY other clones and workalikes, use a sector editor
to search for and replace at least the first of the following byte
sequences in the file "PRODOS":

       Search for:            Replace with:
     --------------          --------------
     69 0B D0 03             69 0B D0 00

     AE B3 FB E0 38          A2 EA EA E0 38


This works for all versions of ProDOS up to v1.9.  It may also work
with v2.x if your Franklin or other clone works properly with a 65c02
or 65c802 CPU.

The first patch allows the boot process to complete and is absolutely
necessary.  ProDOS will boot correctly on any Apple (][+ and higher)
or clone/workalike.

The second patch has something to do with ProDOS determining if there
is extra RAM and/or //e-style 80-column card present.  Some software
running on a Franklin will mistakenly think that it is running in a
//e with 80-column card (possibly assuming 128K, as well).  This patch
prevents that from happening.  If a copy of ProDOS containing the second
patch is run on a //e, the system will think that there's no 64K 80-column
card present.
