That could be helpful. There seems to be a need for it (at least one),
and it's going to take awhile to sift thorough everything to find all
the disks.
Also I'm wondering if this system had a 70mb disk originally and was
replaced with a 40mb disk from another 7300. That could explain why the

That said I picked up a bunch of manuals and one of them was on TCP for
the 7300 (red ATT manual). Maybe some floppy disks in there. I'll also
keep an eye out for loose 5.25 floppies if this is
