[rescue] Old Mac Software

[Jonathan C. Patschke]

SWMBO's mother is cleaning house.  Well, actually, she's tossing out a
whole bunch of stuff to make room for renovations.  Among the pile of
stuff to be tossed are several hundred floppies and CDs containing
vintage Macintosh software.

Among the gems:
  Mathematica 2.0 through 2.2 (and 1.0 through 1.2, if I can find them).
  Macintosh System 1.0, 2.x, and 7.0
  Clarisworks 2.0 and 3.0 (and probably 1.0)
  Hypercard 2.2
  CodeWarrior 6 through 8
  Lots of nifty productivity-ware

I don't think I can fit all the software in my luggage (hell, I'm
already cramming a IIci -and- a IIfx in there), and I don't have the
authority to say "drive on over to $address today and pick out what you
want", so I'm going to try to get disc images of -everything- (thank God
for 40GB laptop hard drives) today.  However, priority will be given to
the things that I find interesting (dev tools, Mathematica, ancient
OSes, and officeware).

If anyone is looking for something[3] (to replace floppies that might've
died from old age) that might be in this pile (and wants to make sure I
get it imaged), or has a NuBus Ethernet card that will work in a IIfx[1]
(that I can have or at least borrow for today--I fly out tomorrow
morning).  A working NuBus Ethernet card would be Really Sweet (TM)
since the one that I have appears to be dead[2] and my USB floppy drive
can't read 800k discs.

Oh, and IIfx RAM would be nifty, too.  20MB is crampy.


[1] Said IIfx has a RasterOps 2-something card in it which may or may
    not cause compatibility issues with some Ethernet cards.
[2] When I give it 'net over a known-good cable the link-OK light blinks
    on and then immediately off, so it's probably the transceiver, and
    I don't have a spare with me.
[3] Note (to cover my ass and Bill's ass): I'm not a 1337 w4r3z d00d.
    I'll be more than willing to give copies of disc images to replace
    dead floppies, but I'm not going to just open the whole archive for
    download.
