    I've uploaded both Disk Disintegrator Deluxe 5.0 and Apple II Diagnostic,
compressed as SHK archives, to the ground FTP site. For the time being,
until they're sorted, you can download them from here:

ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/upload/

    I also made DSK and 2MG disk image files and uploaded them to Asimov
for people out there using emulators.
