I know for certain that my set was downloaded from Apple, though I don't
think it was in the older software section... maybe I got it from the

pure-mac.com has been updated a lot of the old goodies are disappearing
:(

Maybe you could email me disk images or SHKs of your 140K setup disks so
I can include them in the archive.
