Re: Apple 2e - Need some help

["Ivan" <ivanf@aintegra.com>]

Thanks for the advice, I still have no software for my Apple 2e "project"
but I purchased some Dos 3.3 and ProDos disks and I hope to get it up and
running very soon.  I have an Enhanced 2e (65c02) and two 5.25 drives.  My
64K/80 column card is also an RGB card with a 15 pin connector. I found out
that it works with the Apple Color 100 RGB monitor and I found one on ebay.
I have a null modem cable ready to try out ADT to get some cool software.

BTW, where do I find Copy 2plus?  I think I need thay to make the dsk images
back to floppy, right?

Thanks

Ivan
