I just picked up an Apple ][c+ (enhanced ][c, w/3.5" internal floppy
and 4.0Mhz 65C02) with monitor, stand, mouse and two Imagewriter I printers
for the princely sum of $15, but lack modern software. All I have is a
couple of 5.25" DOS 3.3 floppies from my ][+ days. I know this thing works:
it boots and runs DOS 3.3; what I need is something a little newer.
Did Apple ever post ProDOS to the 'net like they have made older versions
of MacOS available? Does DOS 3.3 support 3.5" 800K floppies (probably not).
Is there a good repository for Apple ][ software on ftp somewhere?
Yes. ftp://ftp.apple.com/dts/aii/sys.soft/8bit.system.4.0.2/
You'll need some kind of modem software to transfer it from whatever machine
you download it from to the IIc, unless you have a mac and a 3.5 inch disk drive
for the IIc.
Thanks. I've been out of the Apple ][ loop for 15 years. I used to make
my living programming kids games for it (company: Software Productions;
products: Micro Mother Goose, Micro Habitats, Alphabet Beasts and Company),
but I haven't used one since the company folded in 1984. In short: I'm
not an Apple ][ novice, but I am ignorant of semi-modern advances in the
Apple line.
Thanks,
