help getting my Apple IIe up and running?

I don't have any Apple IIe software, it has a Super Serial card, and just a standard disk controller, do I don't think I can use a 3.5 inch disk. I also have an Apple II HighSpeed SCSI Card lying around here, could I use an external HD or something with it and boot off of that? Or could I make a system disk with my IIGS?

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm still like, half asleep

1. If your Apple II has a 5.25" drive and a Super Serial card, use ADT to create a bootable floppy.

2. Yes, you can boot a IIe from SCSI. ProDOS is limited to 32MB partitions which is huge for an Apple II.

3. Yes, assuming that your IIgs is functional, it is a useful bridge to the IIe.

4. The Apple II FAQs are pretty good. It is unlikely that you will encounter a problem that is entirely new.

5. Good luck and enjoy.
