More IIe questions!



I've got a few questions that I know the readers of this newsgroup have the
answers to..:^)

I recently aqquired an enhanced Apple IIe with a 128K 80col card the same
length of the slot and "unsloped" at the front.  I have an older Apple IIe
(unenhanced) that has a 128K 80col card which is longer than the aux slot
and slopes at the front with a jumper at one end.  Which is the better card
to use?

Also, I have three 5.25 drives, one DuoDisk and the other a Disk II.
If I were to purchase a ProDOS system disk and use just the Disk II will it
load the OS into memory and allow me to format floppies, etc...
(Or am I confused off in IBM land...).  I want to know if it loads ProDOS
into memory allowing me to take the disk out and stick others in...  If not,
can I use the DuoDisk and just leave the system disk in..:^)

I've also got two boxes of 5.25 floppies.  They are Apple floppies but I'm
wondering if they're even capable of being used in my IIe...
Is there any way to tell?

One more, I promise!  I've got two IBM compatible machines here at the
house...and only this lonely Apple IIe.  If I download programs with the PC
how in the heck am I going to get them to Apple formatted floppies usable in
the Apple IIe..:^)

These are stumpers for me right now.  Thanks in advance for all your help!
