Yeah, yeah, replying to my own email, bad form, etc.

I'm an idiot. I just received a 3.5" floppy disk in a CatWeasel Mk3 package from the US and it was fine. Since *every* incoming package is scanned and 5.25" disks are on the whole *more* robust than 3.5" disks, then sending 5.25" disks out of the country should be safe.

Judging by the order of emails Ram will get XACT and Gene will get all the other originals I'm prepared to part with (if he's still interested without XACT).

I'll box them up and workout postage soon.

Just so I know, are there people here that have "standing orders" for any original software I can find? The total load of disks that were disposed of recently (not that much made it to a bin) included:

5.25" DSDD blanks
5.25" DSDD originals
5.25" DSHD originals
(I grabbed all of the above)
5.25" DSHD blanks
3.5" blanks and originals of both densities with possibly some Mac software as well as PC.

By "blanks" I mean non-originals, backups, data, copies, and actual blanks that have probably never been used (certainly never labelled).

What are people after?
