I remember reading in a recent issue (one or two months old) of
A+ magazine about a card that goes into a /// and makes it compatible
with a //c or //e, I forget which.

In the Dec '86 (current) issue of A+, Gary Little ansers this exact
question.

In summary, he says that the Apple ][ emulation on the Apple /// uses
memory that is necessary to run ProDos to instead run Applesoft.
Therefore, the basic Apple /// cannot run ProDos.

The recent availability of the III Plus IIe Card from Titan
Technologies makes it possible to run ProDOS and to emulate the //e.

A previous article in A+, July,'86, "Apple III Alter Ego" discusses
this hardware.
