   Well, comp.sys.apple2 is better for general questions, so I've
redirected this thread there.

   I invite you to read the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ) at http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html  It answers
this and hopefully further questions of yours. For a short answer:
Apple II disk drive formats are not compatible with PCs without rare
addon hardware, so you're going to have to get a disk from someone
with another Apple II. I recommend contacting Steve Cavanaugh, as
mentioned in section 10.2 of the faq, as he is licensed to distribute
a bootable disk with ProDOS on it and a large set of utils to make
downloading easier.
