It's too late for that. As I posted, my origional disk no longer works.
When I put it in the disk drive and reboot, the thing loads to the title
screen, then beeps. A control-T shows that I'm now in the Monitor. I was
hoping that what I posted would prove that I own(ed?) Oregon Trail
legally, and was hoping for someone to tell me where I could get a
cracked copy.

Does this request earn me a pirate's badge? How about when I downloaded
a cracked copy of Skyfox, F-15 Strike Eagle, and Carmen Sandiago from
Asimov and put my original disks with all the other origionals that I
have backup copies of? I have manuels, boxes, and origionals for each of
those titles (except I can't find the Fodor's USA book that came with
Carmen USA, but I have the manuel, scrapbook, and map). 

I'm one of the younger members of CSA2 (hence the kid's titles), but
until this year, I've been using (at home) an Apple IIGS exclusively for
nine years. That IIGS was a Christmas present back in fourth grade. I
haven't used the Carmen Sandiago series in a long time, but I thought
I'd get a backup copy made just in case.
