Where to Buy Authorized Apple II Disks Besides Syndicomm??

You don't have to 'buy' those, unless you're looking for a convenient disk copy service. ProDOS, GSOS are free to download and use. ShrinkIt is a freeware. If you don't want to download and roll your own disks with something like ADTPro, there are these (http://www.blujay.com/?page=profile&profile_username=drkenb&catc=4019000).

Pretty expensive IMO.

I do not suggest anyone deal with those files on Apple's website unless it's absolutely necessary.

I think this link I am posting here will be easier since the files are not so hard to decompress. Those files on Apple's website require a macintosh with the right programs installed to decompress the files.

This is an ISO file.

On the CD there is an "about this disc" file which says:

That ISO contains Syndicomm's compilation of licensed material that Syndicomm is licensed from Apple to distribute.
MacGUI hosting that file that is a contravention of the license.
I will ask David to remove it.
