Hi Jay,

Your best bet is to go to one of the 'pirate' sites for Apple software,
'ftp.apple.asimov.net' comes to mind. There you will find disk images
for a lot of programs, including the system master disks. Depending on
how patient you are, it isn't unreasonable to download DOS across the
serial line to the machine, then download the disk image and write it
to a real disk one sector at a time (using RWTS). If you use the DOS
3.3 with ADT, then you have a bootable disk that can be used to download
more images across the serial line. If you don't have a serial port,
I would recommend buying a super serial II on EBay (about $10).

As for the color monitor, I have tied them to the video input jack on
my TV or VCR. This was how many Apples were run in the early days,
and you get color too!!!!

Good luck,
clint
