     You can get ProDOS and DOS 3.3 pretty easily.

     A good place to get all sorts of software is your local Users
Group. If there is no phone listing for an Apple group, check for a Mac
users group-- a number of Apple II groups merged with their Mac
counterparts.

     The Apple User Group Connection (800-538-9696 ext 500) can tell you
the closest Apple II (or Macintosh) User Group. Several web sites
maintain user group lists. Two such sites are ...

     One nice 'getting started' package is the Modemming Starter Disk
from Apple Blossom. According to Steve Cavanaugh, it now includes ProDOS
and is bootable. Below is a small clip from the Apple Blossom web site
( http://people.delphi.com/appleblossom/index.html ).

     Another resource is to email some Csa2 regular and request that
he/she send you DOS 3.3 and ProDOS startup disks with a few useful
utilities. Expect to pay $3-$5 to cover the cost of diskette(s) and
shipping.
