AppleWorks 2.1: Apple IIc Plus Disk Drive Labelling Correction

The Apple IIc Plus has an internal 3.5" disk drive, which the older Apple IIc system didn't have. AppleWorks has a menu item under "Add Files" for changing current disk. When chosen, this menu item displays a list of available disks.
On an Apple IIc Plus with the internal 3.5" drive, AppleWorks 2.0 displays the following list of drives:

1. Built-in disk
2. Ext. disk IIc
3. Disk 3.5 #1
4. ProDOS directory

NOTE: AppleWorks 2.0 uses the following associations between slot/drive and the labels as displayed above:

1. Built-in disk Slot 6, Drive 1
2. Ext. disk IIc Slot 6, Drive 2
3. Disk 3.5 #1 Slot 5, Drive 1
4. ProDOS directory (the pathname typed in response to this selection)

When running on a Apple IIc Plus:

1. The built-in disk is actually the first external 5.25" drive.
2. The "Ext. disk IIc" is the second external 5.25" drive.
3. The "Disk 3.5 #1" label is the internal 3.5" drive mounted in the Apple IIc Plus.

These labels are correct for the older Apple IIc systems, but the labels do not correctly identify the internal disk drive for the Apple IIc Plus. Claris has revised AppleWorks 2.0 to correct the associations. Contact Claris for information about the AppleWorks 2.1 update.
