There's several of them, one has source (in a few pieces): http://www.txbobsc.com/aal/1986/aal8605.html#a1 http://www.txbobsc.com/aal/1986/aal8607.html#a3 http://www.txbobsc.com/aal/1987/aal8704.html#a2 I'm actually trying to figure out how to do this ProDOS block device stuff, so I can write a simple OS for storing single-file games and running them from a menu.
