   That machine at Apple was down a minute ago, but as listed from the
comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section 5.2 at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html the other location of
ftp://mirror.apple.com/mirrors/Apple_SW_Updates/US/Apple_II/HyperCard_IIGS_1.1
worked fine. I downloaded the files thru Lynx 2.7 and they unpacked
successfully with nulib. 

   Note that the Apple II versions of the files are bxy, so if you're
using a GUI (i.e. Greatly Unstable & Idiotic) web browser to try and
download them, better have modified it first to deal with the files.
If you're downloading the DiskCopy versions thru just about any
PowerMac, remember that the 3.5" drives are less and less Apple II
compatible, so you may run into headaches trying to get them to work
as advertised.
