Please send me Apple2e startup disk(s)

[kwolcott@copper.denver.colorado.edu (Kenneth A Wolcott)]

I recently found an Apple2e in the trash area of my apartment house in
Hayward, California.  It was raining hard, and the computer looked really
wet and cold.  I felt sorry for it!  It looked in perfect shape (other
than really wet) from the outside.  There was a DuoDisk, Apple Monitor and
all the cables neatly wrapped around it.  It seemed as though this was
like the anonymous ways babies were abandoned in the old movies.  I felt
really pity for this homeless Apple2e, so I took it inside and dried it
out for a week.  I used to have an Apple2e when I was in college, and that
machine did almost everything I needed.  When I got very broke, I had to
sell it.  Boy, that was a heart-breaking event!  Now, I don't have any
startup software for this cute little machine.  I've looked at it
carefully inside, and it looks fine.  There aren't any missing, damaged or
burned chips of any kind that I can see.  But, since I'm not a hardware
kinda-guy, I have no way to knowing whether the machine is fine or broken
completely, or anywhere inbetween.  So, I'd greatly appreciate it, if
somebody could send me a disk or two.  I'd really like to have some
diagnostic software.  This is a barebones Apple2e.  There's the DuoDisk
controller card, an Epson APL card, an Apple video card (it MIGHT be an
80-column card, but if so, I doubt that it has additional 64K on it).  I
have no money to put into software, hardware or any repair.  Can somebody
help me out with some software?  I'd really like to get this computer
running and then give it to my sister who has three school-age boys and
does lots of community education of poor women to help them off of
welfare.  If you can send me some software I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
