Does anyone have some Prodos and or other software for one of these? My
supply is locked up, and I don't know if I ever had Prodos.
The system I'm getting had its prodos floppy stepped on by a misque long
ago, and it was overwritten, so at a minimum I would appreciate that.
I could send the damaged disk and let you overwrite at my expense as an
alternative if media is a problem, or I can dig for some blanks in my pile.
thanks

If you have a serial card for the machine you can bootstrap from bare
metal using ADP (on SourceForge).

I now have hands on the machine, and no cpm card (lots of floppies) and
no serial card (just a db-25 cable). beggers can't be choosers.
Any suggestions on the cpm card? I poked on ebay, and what is there
didn't give me a warm fuzzy. I do have an apple 2 card cpm card
somewhere, but would rather not scrounge it.
I'll read the ADP posting, unless someone has words of wisdom on the
proper serial card to add to the thread. I know that some cards had
actual uarts on them, but the apple original card I had just wiggled the
lines, and listened, and had no uart. There seems to be something
called a super serial available several places on epay right at the moment.

Hi jim. Another option could be that you could pick up an apple 2gs.
They're very inexpensive. An entire 2gs might be cheaper than a super
serial board. They take ADB keyboards which you might have handy.
And if your 2e is a platinum, they use the same floppy drives. The
2gs also has a serial port built in. I was able to track down the
right cable for not too much money and use the 2gs to write floppies
that I could read on the 2e.

I come across both SSCs and //gs machines for free with some regularity.

Many school systems in the US dumped whatever IIgs stock they had left a few
years back (at that time you could not give them away). You can still find
them here but now you have to pay a little (or a lot depending on add-ons).

Yeah, I got several that way and was able to assemble them into a working
system. Now my IIgs has a Transwarp, RAM expansion and AE HD. It's a very
nice system.

They are ok. I have ROM 3 with Transwarp, Apple SCSI card, and an 8MB RAM
card in one of mine. The most expensive part was the SCSI card that I paid
$50 shipped for a few years back. The rest I found in systems I snagged for
a few bucks, or as the case for the RAM card for free because I was told it
was dead (just needed corrosion on one of the board fingers cleaned). I
would think that setup would run in the hundreds on ebay. While GS/OS is ok
to play with, even with the Transwarp and all that RAM (some of which is
setup as a RAM disk) it doesn't feel that fast to me. Still playing the IIgs
version of Arkanoid is fun, and being able to network directly with a mac to
transfer files makes GS/OS useful.
As far as shipping them to the UK, it might have been worth it before USPS
got rid of surface mail. Now that everything is airmail only it would be
very expensive to ship a whole system overseas, maybe not that bad for the
system case only.

Same here. I've only ever seen one Apple II in the wild in the UK (at a
school, around 1990). Perhaps we should set up some kind of
transatlantic exchange scheme...

Immediate update on last post / question. Super Serial will work, and
the link is adtpro on sourceforge. Sorry for posting a question, then
answer. Moderator could bounce these if that is possible, I'll tidy and
post later. Otherwise I'll post what I find for the list to have this
in the archives.

Just use ADTpro to copy Prodos over a serial link onto the Apple.
