Several years ago I purchased a number of vintage computers (in very poor condition) with a few hundred disks. Most are damaged to some degree but one stood out: Chevron logo, Ortho Personalized Plant Selector. Has anyone run this program on a real IIe? I can't get it to run either by booting or using a ProDOS boot disk separately on my IIe Platinum. I also have an unenhanced IIe but it's a pain to get it hooked up so I figured I'd see if anyone has run this. It's an original disk which is pretty cool and the utilities I've run on it show no errors on the disk so I'm assuming (yeah, I know what they say) that there is some other reason it won't run.

I used AppleWin with the settings: Apple //e, Monochrome Green to boot it.

Good luck!
Did you try to clean the disk itself?
Here's an interresting article about it:
