  I picked them all up last night, as Terry expressed a notable
disinterest in packaging & shipping them. I will be testing and imaging
the floppy sets this weekend [I hope]. None of the three sets seem to
be factory originals; they are all on Digital brand media, but all have
handwritten labels. If there's at least one complete good set, I'll
make disk images, probably in 22Disk. Those will be available by FTP or
email to whoever wants them.
 The physical sets will go "to the first 3 callers", whom I've already
emailed.

  BTW, I was cruising www.montagar.com the other day, and ended up on an
HPaq page dealing with the VMS Hobbyist license. I forgot to bookmark
the page, but it clearly stated that all previous releases are covered
by the Hobbyist provisions. Does that mean that the Diagnostics disks &
tapes are now covered?
