Go to www.sheppyware.com and find his DiskMaker application.  That will allow you to create diskettes from those
images.  There's no need to buy the software, BTW, unless you really want to have original disks and manuals.  It's
available freely from www.apple.com, and you're not breaking any laws or anything.  You can pull down the images
and use DiskMaker to get yourself moving.

It does occur to me, though, that you could be in a "chicken or the egg" scenario, and may not be able to run
DiskMaker.  Then you need a Mac to create those disks, and you'll want to be careful to format your floppies in the IIgs first.  My Power PC doesn't write floppies that my IIgs likes.

If you find your back up against a wall, we can work out something where I can send you the disks and get you moving.
Sometimes, it's just easier to bite the bullet and do things the easy way, rather than jump through hoops and aggravate yourself.  If you have a CD ROM, I'd also be happy to throw in a CD with all the Apple II stuff from Apple's site.  I can't
get my CD working on my IIgs, but I do access it on my Mac's CD, shared across the network.  It's nice to have those
images on non-volatile media, knowing that I can recreate the disks any time I want. :-)
