Need software for Extended 80-Column Text/AppleColor card



Does anyone have a copy of the disk that came with this card?

The original disk was labelled thus:
  Extended 80-Column Text/AppleColor Card
  Demonstration and Driver Software (DOS 3.3) (Front Side)
  Double High-Resolution Modes Driver Sofware (ProDOS 1.0)
          For //e only

I've got the card, the monitor and the manual but not the software and I just am not going to be able to sleep well at night until I fill that gaping hole in my life!

According to the manual, the disk includes the following routines:

&GR     -- initialize DHGR mode (560x192, 140x192, mixed)
&BCOL   -- set background (fill) color
&COL    -- set foreground (pen) color
&CLEAR  -- clear screen to background color
&DOT    -- draw a dot
&PLOT   -- draw a line
&MOVE   -- move pen without drawing
&VFILL  -- fill a rectangle with the background color
&DRAW   -- draw a predefined rectangular bitmap shape
&SCRN   -- returns the color# at the current pen position
&GPRNT  -- redirect Applesoft PRINT vector to DHGR
&NCHARS -- select & load user-defined font from disk
&SCHARS -- select system standard font
&CPRNT  -- something to do with handling of control characters
&TPRNT  -- redirect Applesoft PRINT vector to normal text
&SAVE   -- save picture from DHGR page 1
&LOAD   -- load picture into DHGR page 1
&TEXT   -- exit DHGR, return to normal text mode

Some interesting capabilities there!
