Hi Dwight,
I've recently acquired a box of at least 1000 N* disks, and have
been slowly going through them and transferring the material to
image files. Most of it is rather boring business software, however
I have found original copies of several different versions of
various operating systems that I did not have before, as well as
some utility and language disks ... It's going to take quite a
while, but I'll make any non-personal/confidential material
available once I'm done.
Hey Jules - if you want to part with one or two of those Horizons,
it would make the job far faster to have multiple machines running
in parallel... Also, if you are interested in my transfer utilities
and a simulator which can boot up and use the images, I have all
of the material available on my site.
Regards,
Dave
