Wanted: TeleVideo CP/M machine(s)

In case it's of interest to anyone, I found the (5-1/4") CP/M boot diskette
for my TS806's. What's the best way to make this available to those who
want it? I'm not sure I can dupe it without setting up one of the
machines? I could do that I guess, but am inclined to let sleeping dogs
lie . . . .
