One of my ancient 486 boxes has a 5.25 in. drive.  Hadn't been booted in
ages, but I connected power and ethernet and it came right up!  Last
login time 2008 May 31.  I read from an ancient TeX implementation on
5.25" media using dd if=/dev/fd0, so the device seems to be functioning.

This is a box that I bought from Dave Lawyer for $6 in 2002.  Old-timers
here probably remember him.

I'd be happy to transfer media gratis if we can work out the logistics.
I rarely go to the meetings and my transportation is bicycle.  What city
are you in?

Send me your OpenPGP key so we can work out details in encrypted email.
