I don't think so. The box had backup floppies and I don't think this was one of the "make a single copy for archive purposes" nonsense that hit early MS-DOS titles. > Sometimes I think it would be cool to have an archive of early commercial s/w > for the Rainbow somewhere... There isn't one? Well... I haven't been big on the Rainbow in the past but I see in this box: Rainbow 100 MS-DOS Operating System Version 2.05 AUTOSORT-86 for Rainbow 100 Microsoft Multiplan-86 Spreadsheet for Rainbow 100 Rainbow CP/M-86/80 Operating System Version 2.0 Lattice C 2.15 Microsoft MBasic-86 BASIC Interpreter for Rainbow 100 and from another source, I have an original Infocom title for Rainbow (presumably runs under DOS not CP/M). Infocom game files are not difficult to source but a disk image of one for a Rainbow would be uncommon. At the moment, I haven't finished building my "media imaging box", a long-standing project that I really ought to kick into the priority lane. -ethan
