I was in Scotts Valley, CA late December 1988 and copied their entire
BBS on 8 - 1.2MB floppies.  I lost 2 floppies in the irradiated /
magnetized airline security lines.  I tried to keep them from zapping
and stuff but all terrorists carry floppies, ya know.  No ma'am, that's
not a bomb, them's floppies. 

The fact they were {Precision}tm flexible disks I got in a dive computer
store near downtown SJ probably didn't help.  Phhhtttt!  Serve me right
for being in a hurry. :-(

I collected both the 286 and 386 libraries.

*Anyway*, I can't offer anon uucp (no dedicated phone line), ftp (not on
internet, thats another posting), e-mail/floppies (don't have the time,
I got a life, ... really!), but would prefer to distribute what I have
to a few that can publicly offer these for distribution / archive or
have first class ftp-able sites. 

The list sums up as;

Anyone notice the 386-fix/lp.o??  Is this the much talked about driver?

Well, sorry for being the klutz that I am, but at least this is a start
for the Microport users to defend themselves until uport gets their act
together or they just go away.  I *do* want to do my part to support my
fellow sufferers, I just don't know what is appropriate. 

I'll wait for mail, discussions, etc. then post the volunteers and
sites and methods for access.  (This may take a few weeks.)

Cheers!
