Re: Any interest in apple II educational disks?

[ccollet@mason.gmu.edu (Chris Collet)]

I've just downloaded the index and I'm going to start dumping images asap.
I've already dumped a few, but a couple are giving me problems I.E the
.dsk images will quit to the monitor when I try using them on an emulator
or if I dump them back to disks. One of the boxes of disks has a lot of
cracking software so I might be able to figure something out.
I've divided the disks into several categories:

Games: probably close to one half of all the disks, only a few I havent
seen online. I've been looking everywhere for super star trek (not the
arcade game, but the old unix game)!  

Educational: Around 1/4 of the disks. The majority of these are on the
original disks so they arent cracked, which is giving me problems.

Appleworks: Boxes and boxes of appleworks software, addons (especially for
extra ram) 

Applications: Lots and lots of word processors, terminal emulators (they
all suck), spread sheet, graphics programs, blah blah blah.

Utilities: Cracking software, utilities for the sider hard disk
(documentation too) and Ramworks.

   I also got a sider hard disk, a IIe with a bunch of cards in it, a huge
apple composite monitor, a couple 6502 to 65c02 upgrades, and a sider hard
disk (I dont care what anyone says, 80 megs is huge!) The hard disk is
already stuffed full of prodos and dos 3.3 apps (There are also cp/m and
pascal partitions but I dont have a z-80 card)
   I've been using a parallel to game port (on the apple) connection to
dump games, but now that I have a serial card I could do that too. Does
anyone know which is faster. I suppose theoretically I could have two
apple IIs dumping images simultaneously, one on the serial and one on the
parralel. Hell, I have two serial ports so I could do three at the same
time! Has anyone tried anything like this before?
   I'll keep everyone posted on my progress (I'll try to get the
educational stuff done first although I need to crack it) I'll probably
just post them on asimov. I think my ISP gives me something like 10 megs
for a web page, so I might eventually put them there.
