Just downloading the .jar for x86 Linux on my Ubuntu box according to their instructions worked for me.
https://github.com/AppleCommander/AppleCommander/releases
But generally getting things to work on Linux is a lot easier than MacOS and much, much easier than Windows.
I have the latest version of Java, so I don't understand what the problem is. I've never really had any problem before. I guess I'll try Ciderpress II v.107. It runs fine, but I can't say I've figured it out.
I disagree -- dependences on linux are unlimted. I prefer old versions of windows but only if for free ;)
So I installed the Java SDK, and Homebrew. but it says it cannot access the Applecommander .jar file. Any ideas?
Is it a permissions issue or is the file not where it is being looked for or not named what is expected? It has to be one of those things. If you look at their installation instructions they give you a small shell script example to run it on MacOS. You can see from that where it expects the .jar file to be and what it expects the filename to be. You can either move/rename the file or adjust the script to fix it.
I did all that. I've given up on Applecommander. I'm back to Ciderpress II. Am I correct that VOL20_SingleBlankVol.po on the SD card does not contain ProDos? And if so, how do I get a copy there?
I am beginning to understand what I do not understand, "using" Ciderpress II (CP2) to get files onto the SD card.
Questions:
1. When CP2 creates a ProDOS disk image, does anything else have to be done before adding disk images to the card (for non-booting)?
2. Do all images added have to be *.po images? Or can *.dsk or CP/M images be added to a volume?
3. Can multiple *.po images be added to one ProDOS volume, to then be selected from the Disk ][ interface?
4. What is the difference between the SingleBlankVol.po provided with the card and the ProDOS diskimage created by CP2?
If these questions show that I do not know what I am doing, it is because I don't... Thanks.
Why don't you start with the easiest approach:
1. Download Total Replay from here: click!
2. Rename it from "Total Replay v5.2.hdv" to BLKDEV01.PO and put it in the root of a FAT32 formatted SD card.
3. Put the SD card in Slot 1 of the Dan ][ Controller. When you hit Return on startup you should be able to see and select it.
then:
4. Download Total Replay II from here: click!
5. Rename it to BLKDEV02.PO and add it to the SD card
Now you should be able to see, select and run both.
This card does not support diskette images, only ProDOS SmartPort volumes up to 32 MB in size.
It definitely does not support .dsk, .do, .nib. .woz, etc... However you can at least copy a .po over and it will work, if not usually copying the files to an empty .hdv will work. I've done that to be able to run, for example the ESP32 Softcard software from a Dan ][.
Does it support .2mg?
And what about DOS.MASTER? Does that actually allow .dsk images to be added to a ProDos volume?
This thread from AppleFritter a couple years ago might be useful for info on DOS.MASTER:

Great thanks!
ADT Pro (2.1.0 <-> 2.1.D2) using a serial connection from my IIe to my iMac works flawlessly.
So I tried setting it up with with the 2.1.D2 Dan ][ version over Ethernet on the IIe, thinking great, one less cable to run.
Not great. I eventually got 2.1.0 on the iMac to "serve" my iMac's IP address. I also did the Ethernet config on the 2.1.D2 version on my IIe (although for some reason it keeps changing the local IP from whatever I enter to 192.168.xx.52, which should be ok, as 52 was vacant anyway). It actually works here and there, but for the most part it does not, times out, and on the iMac side it says "image transfer aborted."
Any ideas? Thanks.
Did you try lowering the baud rate ?
It's Ethernet. No baud rate.
Ok, I cannot do it. I cannot figure out how to put images that can run onto a second (or even add to the first) SD card. My 32GB card is formated FAT32. I'm using Ciderpress II like a bumbling idiot. I cannot figure out how to create a ProDOS volume to add images to, or to just add images that will show up on the Disk ][ intial menu list.
If someone can take me through it step by step, I would more than appreciate it.
Nothing works. I reformatted the 32gb SD card as Fat32. I placed PRODOS.SYSTEM and BASIC.SYSTEM on the .po images using Ciderpress, although whenever I do something in Ciderpress that requires it to open a directory window on my Mac it crashes. All I get on the SD card when booting into the Dan ][ is a listing each of which says "ROM." I'm about ready to return this card.
Are you putting the correct prefix in front of the .po image names?
VOL01_
VOL0A_
Yes. This is my root directory:

That looks good.
When I startup with new image files I press return at startup, select an image to mount and press return.
Then select a D2 image, press return then press return again to boot
Here is what a micro SD card I just pulled from a known working Dan ][ card looks like for me:

I always name the files BLKDEVxx.PO like that. In this case the first file is Total Replay, second is Total Replay ][, and then others.
Unzip that and copy those files onto your Micro SD card and put it in the lower slot of your Dan ][ card and it should work.
If using CiderPress II, adding and removing files to/from the .PO images is just drag and drop. However you need to make sure the correct attributes are set. The easiest is to just copy the attributes from an existing file of the same type:
