I've got a pile of 8" disks in the garage, from a S/36 that sadly no
longer exists. Many of the disks are used, but there may be a box or two
of pristine disks. If you're local, and can pick them up, or would pay
shipping (USA, NJ, 07110), you can have 'em. (They average about 15 years
old.)

Any chance you might have a use for the S/36 software, and/or the 10-disk
"caddies" that the S/36 took?
