Apple /// Plus Boot Disks?

[marmotking]

I recently acquired a nearly pristine condition Apple /// Plus. When powered up, it looks for a boot floppy and retries when I press any key on the keyboard. Is it possible that someone out there could help me obtain an SOS boot disk for it? I'd really appreciate it. I also understand that there's a special boot disk that makes it boot in an Apple II compatible mode? (what are the odds I could find one of these too)?

Actually, your odds are pretty good. They are in image format on asimov ftp site. They can be created on an Apple II because they are read/write compatible. I created my SOS and emulator disks on my Apple IIplus. There is also business BASIC you will want. I'm heading to the VCF tomorrow so I don't have time to make one but maybe somebody here can help you out that has a Apple II machine.

These are .dsk images that you'll need to reconstitute to real floppy disks. You can do it yourself if you have an Apple with a serial interface compatible with ADTPro (which includes the ///) :

If all this fails and a friend doesn't emerge to do it for you, you can engage a service to do it instead:
