Not sure about Asimov.  The largest site for Apple IIGS
software is the ground ftp server.

ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/apple16/

Look inside the various folders.  Ground organizes files
into .txt/.shk pairs.  The .txt files are the descriptions.
You left click them.  The .shk files are what you want
to download.  You RIGHT-click them and choose
"Save As" to download the files.

Good luck!

Check on the games, hypermedia, and extensions for
the OS sections of ground.  A huge amount of stuff
available here.
