Looks interesting and in good preservation.
Pretty much work to do, if you plan to pdf all the documentation.

I will not be PDFing all of the documentation. Quick Reference cards probably, and maybe an odd software catalog, but nothing over a few dozen pages.

This is an impressive treasure trove you have acquired. Congratulations.
Some of the disks are already up here, but out of your list above, I would like to see "Adobe Acrobat Pro 2.0" archived at the MG. Not so much its "Acrobat CD Sampler Disc", but its floppy disk set as (Disk Copy 4.2) images. Yes please.

I love every single products that you have owned. Please include scans like front and back covers of the box and manuals, and CDs/floppies.

I've started trying to image disks, and it's been a little disheartening. Almost immediately I've had a floppy drive go out. The backup seems to be working well, but about half of the dozen disks I've tried have significant read errors.

This software, and a pile of smoke-stained hardware with it, was apparently in a storage unit for untold time. I'm afraid some of this stuff might have gotten cooked in there.

I ordered another floppy drive, and I'll try it with that one to see if I have better luck. (Although, it might be unwise to hope for Mac-related luck this week, as I'm apparently cursed. A Power Mac G5 I purchased for a restoration project for a client arrived yesterday with it's aluminum case smashed in.)

I'm really hoping that these from the Adobe Acrobat Pro 2.0 disk sets are OK

Acrobat Distiller 2.0 Disks 1-4
Acrobat Exchange 2.0 Disks 1-4

I've been hoping to see this early distiller and exchange set surface for a long while now.

Sorry to hear of your floppy drive dying, g.c
