Got a junked Apple //e... need basic software....
I will pay material and mailing costs for copies or originals for all or
some the folowing utilities on DD 5.25" disks...
o- DOS 3.3: DOS 3.3 is an old but a good operating system for software on
5.25" diskette. There is a _lot_ of Apple II software on DOS 3.3 diskettes.
To write and save programs, etc. under DOS 3.3 you want a disk which boots
DOS 3.3 and lets you get to a BASIC prompt. Once in BASIC after booting DOS
you will be able to CATALOG the diskette, and LOAD, RUN, SAVE, ... programs.
DOS 3.3 commands are described in more detail in the Csa2DOSMM Q&A.
o- ProDOS: Practically all of the above applies to ProDOS. ProDOS is the
newer Apple II DOS which allows having sub-directories. It works with 5.25"
and 3.5" diskettes as well as hard disks and other large media. (See
Csa2DOSMM Q&A for more about ProDOS.)
o- Copy II Plus: This is the standard general purpose disk/file management
utility. Good versions for working with both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS disks are
Version 7.1 and 7.2.
o- A telecom utility: an Apple II telecom utility (e.g. ZLink, ProTerm, ...)
together with a serial interface board (or built-in serial port) lets you
transfer the Apple II files you download on the net from your PC or Mac to
your Apple II.
o- ShrinkIt: Most Apple II files are maintained on the net as shrinked files
(.shk files) or on shrinked disks (.sdk files). ShrinkIt v3.4 is the
standard utility for unshrinking these files; it requires a 128k Apple IIe
or later Apple II. Earlier versions of ShrinkIt work on Apple II's with less
than 128k memory.
Thank you!!!! Your assistance is needed and appreciated!!!
