     Nope.

     ADT expects to hook up to and use DOS 3.3 routines. (DOS 3.3 and some
fast DOS 3.3 variants-- Beagle's Prontodos, and ESDOS-- work fine.)

     Sure. Several regular posters will send diskettes if requested and you
are willing to cover disk and mailing costs. Since you are in Australia, you
probably want to contact someone who lives in that area.

     An alternative is a users' group. Here are a couple that are fairly
close: 

AUSOM- The Apple Users' Society of Melbourne

WAUG- Wellington Apple Users Group (New Zealand)
