Some years back, here in San Antonio, Texas, a music store who sold
the PianoDisc system went out of business and I acquired their _new_
inventory of PianoDisc 3.5" _floppy diskette_ disc media. All of it
is still in the jewel cases, some of which have broken hinges, etc.,
due to plastic fatigue.
The media is good because using a program I found on the Internet I
copied all of the discs. Quite possibly the media can be transferred
and used on modern day systems; I don't know.
The software I used and the person's name who wrote it have long
since disappeared from my brain, but I simply searched PianoDisc and
found it straight on.
Originally I had over 100 diskettes and sold many at on-line auction.
Unfortunately some people cannot or would not read the auction
description and some of them were purchased by individuals who
mistakenly thought they were CD's. eBay _forced_ me to return their
money and unfortunately the buyers have not returned the media to me.
I have 48 diskettes in good usable condition that are taking up valuable
space and I offer them on a _take all of them_ basis for USD 48.00 plus
USD 8.48 Media Mail postage.
No time to list any further information on them, so the first PayPal
payment of USD 56.78 gets them. I will say that most of the titles
I see on the spines of the jewel cases indicate they are music of a
classical nature.
Please be sure your mailing address appears in any correspondence or
in the notice I receive from PayPal.
