I'll be interested to see your list as soon as it's up. I've downloaded
everything from the Asimov Archive and I can put it on a couple CD's to
send to you in exchange for some of your stuff if that works for you.

I had an Apple IIGS system that died on me about 3 years ago. Being
stupid I tossed it and all the Apple // software I had, not thinking
about getting another Apple // at the time. I just recently picked up
an Apple //e (enhanced) system at an estate auction. Wish I still had
all the old software. Now all I need to do is get a couple cables and I
can use ADTPro to transfer the disk images from my Mac Mini to the //e
to put back on disk.
