This seems doable, in that my father is really into these things(or was-- 
we're
trying to get rid of about a dozen of these). The OS SHOULD be on the disk 
with
the games-- try inserting the disk with the games, and turning on the 
computer.
If that doesn't work, try  putting the disk in while you're at the ] and type
in "Catalog"-- this should give you a directory of what's on the disk. If
you don't get anything, the disk is empty. If you do, try "RUN FILENAME" to 
run
the filename. If that STILL doesn't work, I have the AppleDOS or whatever it
is, that I could send you. Let me know, preferrably via Email. Thanks.
