My son decided that he wanted to give me an Apple computer for my birthday recently. My wife found a Mac on a local recycling email list and the owner graciously provided some additional material when he discovered my interest. He used to work in "The Computer Shop".
I've taken some photos of the haul

There are also ~200 copied 5.25 disks in a variety of conditions. Mostly good but some are dusty, possibly mouldy and some are bent.
If anyone wants some/all of the copied floppies and you're willing to pay shipping (from Sydney Australia) then you can have them under the condition that they are not to be resold - what is freely given from the recycling list is not to be sold.
I will probably keep the originals myself, but if anything is of particular interest to you, get in touch. I will image what is not on Asimov already. If someone wants a clean crack then I can contemplate that also (either myself or passing on to others with more time).
Regards,
Andrew
