   The following information is from the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ), located online at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html, section 7.2:

   7.2 I don't have an OS for my Apple II or want an update. Where do I
   get it from?                                                          
          
   Without an operating system, you can't run a comm program to download
   the operating system, so you're in a bit of a quandry. One of the best
   bets is to call 1-800-SOS-APPL and try and find an Apple II user group
   in your area. They should be able copy things for you.       
          
   If you are unable to find a local user group, one of the next best   
   options is to contact Steve Cavanaugh (section 10.2), who is licensed
   to copy ProDOS 8 [runs on pretty much all Apple IIs with at least 64K
   of RAM], along with a 5.25" disk full of comm programs, etc. The comm
   program disk costs only $3, which is a great deal. Ask him for more   
   details if interested.                                             
 
   The latest version of ProDOS that'll run on a 64K ][+ or unenhanced
   //e is ProDOS 8 version 1.9. It is not available online to my
   knowledge. However, if you have an enhanced //e, //c, IIc+, or IIGS,
   you can get the latest version of ProDOS 8, version 2.0.3 from Apple     
   at:                                                    
   ftp://ftp.apple.com/dts/aii/sys.soft/8bit.system.4.0.2/sysdisk402.bsc

--- Snip

   Apple made all versions of ProDOS. As noted above, a 64K Apple II
is pretty much the requirement.

   The FAQ was posted to comp.sys.apple2 on the first of the month;
I encourage you to read it. If you do not have WWW capabilities, then
I can email it if requested in email.
