I think I have spares, but I know several people who would like to have
one as a souvenir.  :-)

I lucked out in that I knew lots of people at AT&T Canada who did 3b2
support and service, and quite a few of their customers too.  :-) That
gave me access to the software once I found an ethernet adapter (it's
also how/why I got a used 3b2/400 as my first personal Unix system way
back in 1989 too).  I just hope the floppies are still readable (I'm
fairly sure the QIC150 with the rest of the 3.2.1 release is still OK,
though I should read its files onto disk just to be safe).
