Hi David,

I didn't follow the reset vector approach pointed out by others.
Instead I look at the ProDOS system bit map:

https://github.com/oliverschmidt/cc65/blob/master/libsrc/apple2/crt0.s

Lines 143 to 146:

; Check ProDOS system bit map
lda     $BF6F           ; Protection for pages $B8 - $BF
cmp     #%00000001      ; Exactly system global page is protected
bne     basic

Regards,
Oliver
