Yes, I know about the IIGS, it's a pretty nice GUI machine. When I was in
second grade, that's all that they had in my old school. But, I'm not
getting a IIGS, I'm getting a II+, the one that came before the IIe. (I
think) Anyway, is ProDOS the best?
Also, does the Apple ][ juse SS/SD disks? If so, where can I get osme?
Thanks,
Tim D. Hotze

that's not a simple question.) Thanks, Tim D. Hotze PS-Does anyone
have Apple ][+ disks?
The IIgs will run any Apple II+/IIe OS(ProDOS, DOS 3.3, etc...), or GS/OS
which is a modified version of MacOS. GS/OS is available on Apple's FTP
site. The IIgs will also run most Apple II+/IIe software, can use most of
the Apple II+/IIe expansion cards and floppy drives. Definitley the most
capable machine in the Apple II line.
