ORCA languages always came with a system disk to boot.  But if you want to
full 6.x package, they charge you a few bucks more.

If you can FTP, grab the disks from ftp.apple2.com:dts/aii/sys.soft/blah,
something close to that.

It's pretty much free, you're suppose to be able to go to an Apple dealer
and just copying it, but most of them don't deal with Apple //'s at all
anymore.

AWGS works just fine with 6.x, sounds like you don't have the correct
fonts.

3mb is odd configuration, it's usually 1mb, 2mb, or 4mb.
