Yes, thanks...your thread is very helpful.

I saw that global VR still sells the installation disks for $17, but they have a $30 minimum order...plus $32 UPS shipping to Hawaii. So $62 to get a single CD to my door just to see if this motherboard will even work.

Hopefully someone has a used one they are willing to sell.

well that is possible, except he would need to contact global service to get an installation key. They know by the key the software generates which disk set was used to install the software with.

I had a hell of a time trying to get a key.  (especially with calling about 6 times to get a key with the same disks) I had to explain what company I was from, what i was doing, and why i was calling over and over requesting installation keys for one disk set.

I saw that global VR still sells the installation disks for $17.

2 problems -

1:) there is an operating system disk (contains OS - no games) is is being "sold" at a "nominal copying fee" because the OS is open source (linux derivative) - $17
2:) there is a "base 86 game pack" installation disk which the distributor sells at a nauseating $176.72

if you can't locate a used set on your own, PM me and i'll see if I can track a copy down for you cough cough http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=223120 (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=223120)

Thanks for the replies guys...but please don't do anything illegal. I'm more than willing to buy a disc, just not looking to spend $62 to do so.

lilshawn, I contacted the guy on KLOV you linked to and thought we had a sale (about a month ago) but it fell through.
