Small Installation For a small System 6.0.1 that will boot from a single 800k diskette and fit on a ROM-01 or ROM 3 IIgs with at least 1MB of RAM, you can obtain ... GS_Sys601small_SingleDiskForROM1.zip or GS_Sys601small_SingleDiskForROM3.zip from the GS WorldView archive at http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Sel/ . For info and download links click on "Getting GS System 6.0.1". (The standard patches to fix HFS.FST and Text Edit bugs are already applied.) Standard Installation You can obtain the set of GS System 6.0.1 disks in convenient Apple II ShrinkIt form from GS WorldView at http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Sel/ . For info and download links click on "Getting GS System 6.0.1". This distribution comes with the standard patches to fix HFS.FST and the Text Edit bugs already applied. The set of six diskettes plus Directions and Release Notes is also available in a single .zip file at ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/gs/ (file: system601.zip) from Asimov. You can also download the GS System 6.0.1 disks as Mac self-extracting archives from AppleComputer at ... http://www.info.apple.com/support/ol...twarelist.html . Each disk in the Sys 6.0.1 folder is a Macintosh self-extracting archive (.sea file) of a Disk Copy 800K ProDOS disk image. According to Apple's directions: "To use, download, double-click the downloaded file (which should decompress it), and use Disk Copy to create a disk Disk Copy can be found in the Utilities folder posted here." A possible hitch is that Mac .sea files must be executed on a Mac to self-extract. (GS-ShrinkIt can create .sea files which self-extract on a IIgs; but, these are not the same as Mac .sea files.) You can download Sys 6.0.1 diskettes as ShrinkIt files from A2 Central at http://www.a2central.com/ (click on "Public File Library"). IIgs emulator users can obtain the System 6.0.1 disks in ready-to-go ..2MG form inside a single .zip file from the XGS archive at ... http://www.inwards.com/xgs/archives.html . (Look for GS/OS 6.0.1) For use on a real IIgs, the .2MG disk images can be converted to diskette form via Asimov2. You can purchase the set of diskettes from Garber Street Electronics at http://www.garberstreet.com or from Syndicomm at http://store.syndicomm.com/ . Another way to get System 6.0.1 is to order a Focus hard drive with System 6.0.1 installed.from Alltech at http://www.allelec.com/indexa2.html . --Rubywand ____________________________ 005- Where can I get AmDOS, OzDOS, DOS 3.3 Launcher, ProSel 8, SpeedGS?

Several of the larger game archives offer docs, hints, cheats, and walkthroughs. A few go into copy deprotection and copying. You can find screen shot and game box pics-- great for making disk labels-- on some sites; but, no single archive or web page offers anything like a comprehensive collection for Apple II/IIgs games. For just IIgs games, the What is the Apple IIgs site has a very good collection. Author, publisher, and historical information is relatively rare. One site, The Giant List, does a good job listing game authors along with their games, publishers, and dates. If a game or series has its own web site, this will often be the best place to look for docs, support materials, pictures, and author/publisher info. Good examples are sites for Ultima, Bard's Tale, Infocom games, and the games published by Penguin/PolarWare.

| Re: Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25
Hello everyone, Here some information im putting , I'm an Apple II beginner. What software does a newbie need to get started and how do I get it? If you bought an Apple II with no software at all, then, at the very least, you will need to get diskettes which boot DOS 3.3 and ProDOS (which pretty well means you need to have a disk drive). Here is a listing of basic stuff to get ... o- DOS 3.3: DOS 3.3 is an old but a good operating system for software on 5.25" diskette. There is a _lot_ of Apple II software on DOS 3.3 diskettes. To write and save programs, etc. under DOS 3.3 you want a disk which boots DOS 3.3 and lets you get to a BASIC prompt. Once in BASIC after booting DOS you will be able to CATALOG the diskette, and LOAD, RUN, SAVE, ... programs. DOS 3.3 commands are described in more detail in the Csa2DOSMM Q&A. Commercial game disks often do not allow you to get to a BASIC prompt. Disks with programs from other users, software from Apple user groups, and copies of Apple's System Master disks will, usually, let you get to BASIC either by exiting a program or by doing a Reset. (See Q&A 020 below for more about this.) o- ProDOS: Practically all of the above applies to ProDOS. ProDOS is the newer Apple II DOS which allows having sub-directories. It works with 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes as well as hard disks and other large media. (See Csa2DOSMM Q&A for more about ProDOS.) Note: Diskettes used with an Apple II should be double-density (DD) diskettes. High-density (HD) diskettes sold for PC's will not work reliably in Apple II disk drives. o- Copy II Plus: This is the standard general purpose disk/file management utility. Good versions for working with both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS disks are Version 7.1 and 7.2. o- A telecom utility: an Apple II telecom utility (e.g. ZLink, ProTerm, ...) together with a serial interface board (or built-in serial port) lets you transfer the Apple II files you download on the net from your PC or Mac to your Apple II. o- ShrinkIt: Most Apple II files are maintained on the net as shrinked files (.shk files) or on shrinked disks (.sdk files). ShrinkIt v3.4 is the standard utility for unshrinking these files; it requires a 128k Apple IIe or later Apple II. Earlier versions of ShrinkIt work on Apple II's with less than 128k memory. Aside from Apple II user friends, there are many places you can get the above, as well as all sorts of other Apple II utility, game, etc. software: 1. Apple II Users' Groups maintain software libraries of utility and games diskettes you can copy. (See Csa2USERGRP.txt.) 2. Some schools and universities have Apple II areas where you can copy system and utility diskettes. 3. Many sellers of original and second-hand software advertise on the comp.sys.apple2.marketplace newsgroup and/or maintain web sites you can browse. Be sure to check the listing of vendors presented later on. 4. If requested via email, regular posters to Csa2 will often send one or more 'getting started' diskettes which will boot DOS 3.3 and/or ProDOS and which include some copy, telecom, etc. utilities plus games. (Expect to pay mailing and materials costs.) 5. The Apple II archive sites listed below maintain large collections of software which you can download via PC or Mac and transfer to your Apple II.
