   That sounds like a GS bootdisk-- IIc+ never had system disk
versions that high. I'd recommend reading the comp.sys.apple2
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html section 7.2 for details
on how to get a new system disk from one of several legitimate
sources.

   Try reading the Applesoft FAQ and the Apple II DOS & Commands FAQ
for plenty of commands. They're available at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/asoft.html and
