See http://people.delphi.com/appleblossom/modemdisk.html . Once you can transfer files you download to a PC or Mac, you can get many disks as ShrinkIt .sdk files and convert them to diskettes. Another option is to email some regular poster to comp.sys.apple2 or another Csa2 newsgroup and request a few diskettes with DOS 3.3, ProDOS, and some utilities. Expect to pay for materials and postage. For a listing of useful getting started software, see http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/A2FAQs5MAINHALL.html#003 . Rubywand
