Apple II parts

Here's what I know. Floppy drive controller goes in slot 5. 80 column adapter - if it's not a 2e - goes in 3. Pinter interface goes in 1. As far as the operating system, you can ftp it down from apple - of course you need an apple to write the disks. You can also order the OS disks from alltech (www.allelec.com) for less than 10 bucks, I think. Alltech also carries a surprizing number of *new* and refurbished hardware for the 2s including roms, disk drives, interface cards, motherboards, ICs, monitors, and so on. Even hard disks at VERY reasonable prices. There's also a newsgroup, comp.sys.apple2 you can read about it. There WERE some good FAQ pages from the group, but the maintainer threw a tantrum and low-leveled his drives that held them in the process of leaving the a2 community over piracy. (There's an ongoing debate whether pirating software that is no longer commercially available is *wrong* or not, as well as several pirate sites that pirate anything and everything.) The other good place for information are the apple2 and apple2pro(grammer) forums on Delphi.
