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.
