It's extremely difficult to get legit software for OS9 and below.
It's a safe assumption that even when you do manage to get the entire retail package, the seller is still running the SAME ACTIVATION KEY on an OSX upgraded version of the same program. Heck, I could sell about a half dozen "legit" revisions of Adobe Illustrator on eBay. The key dates back to Illusatrator 88. The killer is that when I called Adobe for my free replacement set of missing media, they didn't even have an Illustrator 9 image available for download. I picked up another "legit copy" on eBay that I'm positive wasn't really legal. That's abandonware on an entirely unacceptable level from a company still selling the same product!
Don't copy that floppy! :
Meanwhile, as a mod, that's the deal here, BTW. But personally, I think software/driver/documentation preservation needs highest on the list of priorities at other undisclosed locations.
