	A few years ago I downloaded a version of Ultima V on two 3.5" 
disks.  (I know this is illegal, but I did buy the 5.25" disk version).  
I don't think Origin ever made a 3.5" version.  If I recall some hacker 
somehow managed to put all the disks onto the two 3.5" disks.  If anyone 
knows a good ol' Apple II BBS, maybe they can help you find it.
