He is taken care of. I converted all of the .SDK images to .DO,
and renamed them .DSK. Tested all in emulation and all work.
He should now be able to transfer them via ADT and set it up.
If anyone else wants these I would be happy to email them in
zipped form to them, just email me with a valid email addy and
they will be sent promptly.
Thank you,
