There are several places to get software.  The most obvious is
http://www.allelec.com/ Alltech Electronics' Focus drive, a hardcard
for the IIe.  Order it with ProDOS and you got your system software.
Better yet, you'll also have a software library, since the drive includes
freeware and shareware.

Another good source is AOL's Apple II Forum.  Go to this keyword:

aol://4344:1264.a2main.10029531.514525857

You will find a software library for your Apple II.  Go to the
chatroom 10PM on the first Thursday of every month and you will
find Apple II users there.
