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.

DOH! Did I start off on the IIgs again? I didn't even notice you
were
talking about the II+... THIS is why I shouldn't be allowed to send email
at 12:30 in the morning!. OK, for the II+, ProDOS is probably what you
want. DOS 3.3(I've never seen this one) or CP/M(only one I have is my Hayes
SmartModem 300 disk) are supposed to be around. Do you know how much RAM
yours has? I have an extra copy of ProDOS(still shrinkwrapped!! I'm not
sure which version), and it needs more RAM than a stock II+ has. I guess
whatever a II+ with a memory expansion card would have... I seem to
remember 64k being on the box. As for the disks, I'm not sure. Try digging
around at http://www.apple2.org, it should have plenty of info(I know it
has a link to the csa2 newsgroup FAQ).
