FS: New PianoDisc 3.5" Floppy Diskettes
By Ed Gaida

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.

 [ Since the mid-1990s I've used a program suite by Gary Giebler that
 [ converts digital piano music between most popular media formats.
 [ The suite runs under MS-DOS or the DOS window of Windows 98 and
 [ requires an internal floppy drive capable of reading and writing to
 [ single density (720 kb) diskettes.  Visit http://www.giebler.com/
