Strictly speaking, I don't believe either model _requires_ a boot
disk. A boot disk will add significant functionality to the Apple,
though. :)

Anyway, the commodore will use its disk without booting from it,
in contrast to some Apple systems, where that's not exactly true.

You can also get CP/M for it, as some other people have said. Don
Maslin probably has the disk, and he's usually willing to send them
for (very reasonable) media/copying cost.
