System Disk V 5.02

[gblack@vnet.net (Gary Black)]

6 months ago I picked up an Apple IIGS- ROM 3 from a friend who was going 
to put it in a dumpster. I cleaned up everything and passed it along to my 
son's friend who did not have a computer (both the boy and his cousin (5th 
graders) get good use from it).   

We have run into a snag.  The system disk labled V 5.02 has gone bad.  We can boot up 
AppleWorks 3.0, the Math Blaster disk (Davidson sent me a replacement copy of 
that disk when it went bad a couple of months ago) Printshop, a Deluxe Paint 
program, etc. (all these programs with boxes, manuals, etc came with the 
computer) but the IIGS suite of programs apparently need this boot disk.  
Palmer had done some of his homework on the WP with the graphical interface.

I have all the manuals for the computer from the original owner who said they 
lost the original factory diskettes once upon moving from one state to another.

Where can I find a replacement without having to pay a lot of money.  
This child is not rich (the reason I gave him the computer to begin with) and 
neither am I.  I think we are legal owners of the software, we are just 
dumkopfs when it comes to making backups (sorry to admit to this group,
but I have always used PCs so don't know much about the Apple IIGS)

Thanks for the help.
