My memory of 30 years ago is a bit rusty, but I don't recall an easy way to format an Apple II disk without putting either Apple DOS or Apple ProDOS on the disk. This version is smaller, more widely compatible, and adds several third-party add-on features to ProDOS.
So, it's useful any time you'd format a disk in your Apple II emulator. Now you get more utilities, and you disk works on a wider variety of hardware.
