I found them on ftp.support.apple.com in the directory

    /pub/apple_sw_updates/US/apple_II

,downloaded them and made the disks successfully.  You need a program to 
decode the Hqx file format they are stored in as well as the Apple
DiskCopy program to make the disks.  I did this all on my mac and they 
worked fine in the IIGS I was setting up.  They also have disks for
HyperCard GS and some misc driver disks.

It looks like the GS program ShrinkIt will do the decoding and diskmaking
on a GS if that's easier.  Its also there as a self-extracting archive.
I downloaded it to my mac but was unable to decode it.
