You do need the system disks in order to make copies of
disks.
Maybe. For the longest time, I didn't have a DOS 3.3 System Master for
my IIGS. I thought DOS 3.3 was a neat OS because you could make your
own bootable disks easily. (You can with ProDOS too, but I didn't know
that at the time.)
I managed to get DOS 3.3 by finding a game or something that ran on
DOS 3.3, halting it with Control-C to get to the Applesoft BASIC
prompt, then using the file commands such as INIT to make a new disk.
I can't remember if DOS 3.3 has a built-in command that will copy a
disk... There's probably a way to do it.
