This is a bit of a grab bag, but some of you will remember my DVT prototype Macintosh Portable (happily running with Androda's RAM card). It was formerly used by an Apple district manager and I wanted to back it up and then start digging into what was there. Well, that's all done, and it includes:

- System 6.0.6 beta, the cursed version that got withdrawn, complete with a beta 6.1.6 Finder
- Slightly earlier versions of the Mac Portable included HyperCard stacks and software
- Apple's sales network software, including their online price list
- An Aldus Persuasion presentation of their current computer line
- An Aldus Persuasion presentation of System 7.0 alpha with screenshots and features
- Mac Prodigy
- AppleLink, with login credentials, which we can actually spoof to get to log in

I may just keep it running this!
