I always liked the red box from Dysan:

Hi Joao,
As Microsoft software has been sold with the vast majority
of all computers ever sold, I expect enough of the dozens
of millions of German MS DOS 4.01 and Windows 3.1 manuals
to be available as historical documents so the world could
get by without mine, but if anybody wants them, tell
Hello!
Why destroy the manuals?
You can give them to some Institution for preservation, they are a piece of
computer history or you can frame them and put on the wall of your office.

Hello Eric,
In addition, I have found a small number of floppy
disks in CP/M format, which are very likely readable
using some of the drives here, but I do not know HOW
to read them, software wise. I cannot even use dd to
make a diskimage, probably different sector sizes?
In case it helps: I
Hi everybody,
I don't need the actual floppies - but I'd love to have a photo of
them.
Interesting thought :-) Might take a moment, but good idea. I also like
the hard blue plastic boxes in which Inmac sold the floppies.
In the meantime, my offer has grown by 20 small 3.5 inch diskettes,
I don't need the actual floppies - but I'd love to have a photo of them. I
also teach a class on Management Information Systems, and I sometimes talk
about computing history. Would be good to have a few more photos of old
media to include.
You can email me offlist.

Hi users :-)
While sorting through some old stuff, I have collected:
Circa 30 classic 5.25 inch 360k floppy disks, half of
which were not yet formatted, but are formatted now
Circa 9 classic 5.25 inch 1200k floppy disks, also
empty and formatted
And I have found that I have no mainboard
15 matches
