2.2 Apple Macintosh Platform

HINT: Having trouble transferring files from a Macintosh to a ProDOS disk with PC Exchange? Try setting the file's creator to 'pdos' and the type to 'BINA' using ResEdit (or install the Snitch extension to allow filetype altering in Finder "Get Info" windows). This will prevent the creation of a forked file on the ProDOS disk (ie. it will transfer the data fork only, and not the Macintosh resource fork). It should not be necessary to change the ProDOS file type further if the file is a disk-image or ShrinkIt archive. If the file is text, substitute the file type 'TEXT' for 'BINA'.
