   Since you were apparently waiting for a reply, apple2.caltech.edu.
Version 1.1. All the sites should be carrying identical versions, so
the location doesn't matter so much.

   You forgot to answer this issue I brought up earlier, which is far
more important than which site it originally came from. If your system
is mysteriously crashing, try making sure that it's not some
misbehaving DA or init (hold down shift on booting until it says
'inits/das disabled'). If you still get problems with no das/inits,
check for disk corruption then reinstall the system software and most
applications.
