Another PINA book

Today I got a copy of "Macintosh II Repair and Upgrade Secrets" by Larry Pina. It has the floppy disc with it too.

Does the floppy disk act as the "eBook" version of the paperback, or does it just contain additional software?

Either way, would it be possible to create a digital disk image of the floppy, and post it on the Software forum? I would like to have a copy of it.

The floppy is test pattern generator software according to the cover.

I am not sure if it's allowable under the forum rules to create and post a copy.

I put Larry Pina's Test Pattern Generator up at

The Classic screen has the same geometry as the earlier compact Macs, I believe.

I can't vouch for the forum rules, but abandoware is perfectly legal (at least, in the U.S.) to copy and make available as apart of an archive.
