AppleWorks: Early Versions Don‘t Support RAM Cards

I have upgraded my Apple IIe by installing a 512K memory expansion card.

When I tried to run AppleWorks 1.0.1, the memory accessed was only 10K, and when I tried AppleWorks 1.1.1, I got a message saying "not enough memory, need 128K". All this after installing the card and ProDOS.

A diagnostics test, however, confirms that the 512K of RAM is available: yet AppleWorks still will not run.
Early versions of AppleWorks do not support memory cards; you need version 1.3 or later.

Version 2.1 is available from CLARIS at an upgrade price. Contact them for an upgrade order form.
