Control Panel, especially for a SCSI interface, it may be necessary to turn Off
the computer and do a fresh power-up for the new setting to be in effect.
If the expectation is to boot from /RAM5 RAM disk, make sure that /RAM5 is
initialized before copying files to it. (/RAM5 is normally automatically
formatted as a ProDOS volume when you first power up; but, it will not have the
required boot block unless it is initialized or unless you do a whole-disk copy
to /RAM5 of a bootable disk.) --Rubywand

"NO BUFFERS AVAILABLE" error message. What does this mean?
This message often indicates that there has been an attempt to load into an
area protected by ProDOS. For example, many old DOS 3.3 programs like to
directly load a text message or lo-res pic into Text Page 1 ($400-$7FF), an area
protected by ProDOS. Running such a program under ProDOS would be likely to
produce the "NO BUFFERS AVAILABLE" message. You can recover from the error via a
CALL48888. --Rubywand

"UNABLE TO EXECUTE BASIC.SYSTEM" - Why do I get this message when I boot a
ProDOS disk?
BASIC.SYSTEM has been loaded; but, startup code has detected one of two
conditions:
o- It did not find a $4C at $E000 (which it takes to mean Integer BASIC
may be installed).
o- It did not find at least 64K of RAM.
The usual reason for getting this error message is that ProDOS with
BASIC.SYSTEM has been booted on a 48K or smaller Apple II; or, the Apple II has
a faulty Language Card (try re-seating IC's on the card). --Sandy Mossberg,

"UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS" - Why do I get this message when I try to boot a ProDOS
diskette?
For a ProDOS disk to boot properly, you need a good copy of the PRODOS
file. It can be copied from any bootable ProDOS diskette. Or, from IIgs System,
copy the file named "P8" (in the SYSTEM/ folder) to your diskette and rename it
to "PRODOS". --Adam Myrow
The error message means that enough of boot track (e.g. Track 0) was read
to tell that the disk is formatted for ProDOS; but, for some reason, the system
file named "PRODOS" is failing to load. Possibly, PRODOS is not present on the
disk or the file is corrupted or there is a problem with the drive which
prevents reading the file.
If the disk boots okay from a different drive, this usually indicates that
your original drive has dirty heads, may be poorly connected, has a problem with
head alignment, or (5.25") needs a speed adjustment. If the disk is a 5.25"
