By the way, there are still hundreds -> thousands of un-imaged George 
Page disks still remaining. Over the past 15 years I have made near 
constant attempts to work on and get help on this.  At one point I even 
offered to pay local individuals an outrageous rate per disk to do this, 
with myself providing all the hardware needed.  Other times I've had 
arrangements with various nearby-ish folks to ship them small lots of 
disks for imaging.  All such attempts have soon ended the same way: in 
failure.  My theory is that disk imaging in a soul-sucking mindless 
activity that no one, once they are exposed to it, wants to do, ever.

I do continue the project on my own, slowly, whenever my own soul feels 
fortified to handle a batch.  And I'm always on the lookout for someone 
local-ish who, for love or for money, will help me with this God-Damned 
task.

That said, I *did* jump on top of a box of PET/CBM disks that were 
marked obviously as such.  I didn't think about those images until I 
read this message chain.  Here is a link to a zip of this particular set 
of disks.  I hope you find all you might be hoping for.  If anyone wants 
to help sort them for the ftp site, you would be a hero, but I'll live 
either way.
