Brian,

It looks like everyone is too busy flaming to have answered you.
You want to use ProDOS, the most recent version is 2.0.3.  DOS 3.3
is an older operating system that isn't much called for these days
but might be of interest as  curiosity.  DOS 3.3 won't allow you
to use a hard drive.  ProDOS will allow you to use a hard drive
up to 32mb.  Anything larger will have to be partitioned.

As to where to get a copy?  Try Alltech Electronics, I think they
have it, 1-619-724-4660.  Shareware Solutions II might have it
available to subscribers, joko@crl.com.  Scantron Quality
Computers might be able to help out too, 1-800-890-8263.

I got my copy from Genie's A2 library.  Apple's sight probably
has it but I think there is a problem unpacking the archives on
an Apple II, not sure.
