If anyone is interested I have a full set of UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2.
28 5.25 floppies, and a tape cartridge (DC-600? DC-300? It says 450ft,
density 10,000ftpi)
For all I know the media is nice decoration only, I have never tried
to stuff it into a drive.

OTOH, it is quite possible the media has NEVER seen a drive since
leaving the factory in whenever it was shipped.  It still has the
(unfilled) "Intel Software License and Registration Certificate".
(The box came from McGill University)

And about a foot high stack of books, slight water damage (only 2
books the rest looks pristine).  It's all from Intel, copyright says
1988.

It's in Montreal, Quebec.  Shipping would be expensive - it's a heavy
box...  But I'd be happy to see it out of here, I was about ready to
toss it out.

(Maybe you can get der Mouse to somehow shuffle it closer to you, he
lives walking distance from me - but he doesn't see my mails due to
his Gmail filter :-)

Ideally someone shows up at my place, and takes the box away.  Oh, the
city does that.  OK, someone who actually _wants_ it should take it
away. ;-)
Joe.
