   In fact, this is the reason I started doing ProDOS ports.   
      
   ProDOS is pretty much device-agnostic, and if a program simply uses ProDOS   
   calls to access the disk, it can use any drive that works with.  I knew   
   that 5.25" disks would ultimately fail, that drives from the time period   
   would ultimate fail, that people would ultimately be using modern devices   
   instead - and knew that DOS 3.3 file cracks would often not work on   
   ProDOS, so I decided to try to start doing ProDOS file cracks.   
      
   (I haven't done nearly the quantity or quality of these cracks as qkumba   
   did, but since I did have skin in the game I figured I'd jump in with my   
   two cents.)
