They do not refer to the same thing.Two Disk Drives RecommendedWe strongly recommend that you use at least two disk drives. Backing up ismuch more convenient with two drives, and you are able to separate systemdisks from data disks, which significantly simplifies most tasks you performwith the Pascal system.Formatting a ProFile as a Pascal DeviceIf you have a ProFile on line while using Pascal, you need to determinewhether or not you are going to use it as a Pascal device. You cannot useProDOS on a ProFile that is formatted as a Pascal device. Your decisiondetermines which slot you use for the ProFile interface card.If you format the ProFile as a Pascal device, it can hold only 77 files. If yourequire very large data files, it may be ideal to use Apple Pascal on aPro File. But if you require many small files, using the ProFile as a Pascaldevice will limit your use of the ProFile's storage space. If you do decide toformat your ProFile as a Pascal device, we recommend that you install it inslot 5, though it would also work to install it in slots 4 or 6.Recommended System Configurations I-5
