WAP is your best bet for PD
offerings - there are some 250+ disks. Costs for the software is
minimal and the selection is excellent. There are some unique
offerings along with many of the "old standbys." You will get a
better deal on PD software by joining WAP.
Most disks are double-sided and self-booting. WAP is the only User
Group that still supports the /// and its Public Domain Library.
Software is also available on the WAP TCS - an 8 system BBS that
includes a complete file download library - offering Apple ///
Programs, Information and Essentials (members only). Members can also
download programs from WAP's Internet site at http://www.wap.org.
Here are the categories for the PD
Library:
Accounting; Apple Software (formerly
commercial programs); Appleworks/3EZ Pieces templates; (Dr. Al) Bloom
Programs; Business Basic; Catalog; DA Datasystems Programs;
Emulation, Fonts, Games, Graphics; Internet;
Miscellaneous; Pair Software; Pascal and other Languages; Repairs;
Shareware; Source Code; System Software; TeleCommunications;
Utilities; WAP Articles and Word Processing.
12) ARE THERE STILL SOURCES FOR HARDWARE AND COMMERCIAL
SOFTWARE?
There are only a few places we can
go to obtain old-line products like Visicalc, Apple Writer and /// EZ
Pieces or some hardware products.
Here are some remaining places to
check out:

Sun Remarketing continues to support
the Apple ///, tho its emphasis has long since moved on to the
Macintosh. However, they do offer some products. They have a large
selection of /// commercial software and hardware (including parts)
at mostly decent prices.
Sun at one time offered nationwide
service for the /// community. Call to see if they are still doing
that.
