assistant: I'm looking for the following programs:
Masterpieces of Infocom.  I'm not willing to pay a lot (or buy it new)
because I already have about half of what this contains.  (I have LTOI
2, which contains a few that MoI doesn't have.)
Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2
Metal And Lace
Various Zork games (Beyond Zork, Zork Zero, Zork Nemesis)
Leisure Suit Larry #7
I would prefer to trade, or purchase used.  Even for the few that are
still being sold, I'm not wanting them enough to pay full retail.

assistant: I have a set of 4 Sony 1X caddy-style drives.  They come in two external
chassis, are connected to the controller (which I also have) via a 40pin (IDE
style) cable, and I also have the original drivers disk.  I have successfully
installed the drives, controller, and software under DOS5.0 on a generic
386-class system.  They were slated for the BBS, but I got a Pioneer 6disk
changer instead.
    All four drives work, all four caddies are new.  I also have a spare

    Asking $100 shipped for all four drives, controller, diskette, and spare
parts drive.
