WANTED: Apple /// system disk, + a little help

[vilkata@iastate.edu (Dan Black)]

As some of you may remember from a few months ago...

I'm hooking up an old Apple /// with an Imagewriter II for a simple
"message board" in our house.

Unfortunately, I heard a lot of people say how much like the Apple //e
it was and thought I could just hit [RESET] to write BASIC programs.
Nope.  I did figure out to hit [ctrl]-[OA]-[reset] to get the little
arrow prompt, but it won't take any commands or programming from there.
So I need a little help getting started there...  I just have a 14-line
BASIC program I want to run to print messages to the printer.

Which brings up another little question: when I get to the BASIC
programming mode, will the old PR#1 and PR#0 and other Apple ][ commands
work as they did on the actual Apple ]['s?

And last, but not least, I would like to get a simple system disk from
somebody so I can save the program on it, preferably as the "Hello"
program, or whatever the Apple /// uses.  I can't really just download
anything since I have no modem or interface for the Apple ///, and no
5.25" disk drive on my Mac.  And of course the IBM-clones can't do the
Apple DOS.  So I simply need to buy one for a reasonable price, plus
shipping, of course.  And if possible, I'd like instructions on how to
make the little program the Hello program.

Thanks!
