Mordeth Posted August 23, 2000 Robert Waring, author of the official "Doom Strategy Guide", is auctioning off the original 5,25 inch Doom master disks on his site. He got them in the first place from former id Software's business manager Jay Wilbur in order to finish the guide in time. This auction is to help out the family of AGN's Jeremy Allford, who was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness. All proceeds from this auction will go to his family. Thanks to Stomped for the pointer... and good luck in trying to grab those disks! 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted August 23, 2000 Looks like that 5¼ drive I got a while ago may do me some good after all. 0 Share this post Link to post

Guest Anonymous User Posted August 23, 2000 Now that's one set of disks you DEFINITELY do not want to get too close to a magnet. Hmm... Why does it keep showing me as Anonymous user even when I type in my username and password? I am geekmarine. 0 Share this post Link to post

Guest Demi|inX Posted August 23, 2000 My old P200 MMX had a 5 1/4" drive and my father's PII-400MHz has one in it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Anonymous User Posted August 24, 2000 I have one of those combo drives in my computer. It has both a 5 1/4 and a 3 1/2 drive in one. Anyone remember those? 0 Share this post Link to post
