Apple ][ plus - no OS

Hi all, I just acquired a 1979 Apple 2 plus machine with 2 5.25" floppy drives 
(made by ï¿½sci, with card) and a Zenith data systems monitor and no software.  
I can get it to start in Applesoft Basic even though the drive spins, I just 
hit reset.  How can I get my hands on an OS (I think 3.3)?  How can I get any 
software or blank discs?  I also have a PC connected to the internet.

Would any of these solutions work?
Get an external 5.25 drive for my PC and download Apple disk images to it.
Get a 3.5 drive for the Apple 2 (I think I need a card)
Or possibly connect the Apple to the PC via serial cable (I think I would need 
a card, the only 'ports' are for cassette and the monitor)

Thanks.
