If you have some way to download from the net, ProDOS 8 can be obtained by
anonymous FTP from ftp.apple.com.  Look in the directory
/dts/aii/sys.soft/8bit.system.4.0.2.  The /dts/aii/sys.soft directory also
contains the three most recent versions of GS/OS, the IIGS's native operating
system.

ProDOS 8 requires 64K.  The version on Apple's FTP site requires at least
an enhanced Apple //e, but you don't need to worry about that, since you
have a IIGS.

Somebody else will have to answer this...I've never used a Sider.

>3) Is there any FTP address support for the IIGs software?

Yes.  Attached below is my list of Apple II FTP sites.  Many of these sites
have IIGS software.

(I posted a copy of this list a week or so ago, but there have been a few
corrections and additions since then.)

This list does not include empty directories or directories containing
only "useless" files.  Also unlisted are sites containing only the
comp.sys.apple2 FAQ and sites having only Apple II emulators for other
computers (the latter are unlisted mostly because I haven't gotten around
to inspecting the sites yet).

Please send additions, deletions, corrections, or other useful information
to nparker@cie-2.uoregon.edu.

THE BIG SEVEN (All the shareware, freeware, & PD ware you could possibly want)

Appendix:  IP Numbers (as of 1994/11/15)

Since some people are forced to connect to the network through services
that provide incomplete or buggy name servers that can't translate the above
machine names, here are their numeric IP addresses.  Don't use these numbers
unless you don't have any choice--they're likely to change at any moment
without warning.
