I just picked up an Apple ][c+ (enhanced ][c, w/3.5" internal floppy

Congradulations! I picked up one this weekend for $5 with two external 5
1/4" drives. I also got a 5 1/4" disk with ProDOS on it. i've booted it and
it works. If you can tell me how to format a disk on the 3.5" drive and
then copy the ProDOS to it, I'll make you a copy.
Not an Apple person,

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?
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,
