Asimov.apple ftp site, but I'm not sure where to start.  If I remember
correctly, what I'm used to is MSDOS-5.0.  I've seen ProDOS pop up in my
browsings but I can't remember what that is.  I've also used Novel DOS,
can't remember what version.

I could swear the old //c I had booted right up into ms-dos.  Or is that
the ProDOS I'm thinking of.  Dang, I used to be so good with the apple
now I'm so confused.


You are confusing the Apple and the IBM. MS-DOS and DR DOS (Novell DOS being a DR DOS version), ran on PCs. You're prolly thinking of DOS 3.3 and ProDOS.
