It's not gonna be quite that easy if you don't have one bootable disk. Most
software on the net is either 140 dsk, (or archives) or files which you will
have to unpack to disk. But you gotta have an OS. You should run ProDos
mainly. It will run Dos 3.3 adapted to the 3.5 disk. There was an adaption to
the Apple UCSD Pascal but you had to have the 5.25 to set it up (at least
on the software I got). Maybe some one will help you with the bootable
3.5. I don't have one.
