John, I  sent all the original proceedings CDs plus many HP marketing CDs
that I had  to Ron Seybold. 
I guess that he got them as he didn't acknowledge the  receipt of them to  
me.

Subject: [HP3000-L]  INTEREX North American Conference Proceedings

Does anyone have copies  of the INTEREX North American Conference 
Proceedings
from 1985 through  1989?  I'm trying to find copies of papers I wrote and
presented at  INTEREX conferences in the 1985 through 1989 time period.  If
someone  does have copies of the Proceedings, please look for papers written
by me,  John Korb.  If you find them, please let me know as I'd like  to
arrange to get either scans of the Proceedings cover an my papers,  or
photocopies if scans are not possible.

Thanks!

Side  Note:
I originally wrote and saved the papers using an HP 150B, saving to  3.5"
1.44 MB floppies.  Eventually I copied them to a hard drive on  a
486 PC, then to a CD, assuming the CD would be readable many years  later.

Unfortunately, the CD is unreadable in any drive I've tried, and  I've tried
more than a dozen drives.  The closest I've gotten to  reading the CD was
with an LG Blu-ray burner, model HL-DT-ST BD-RE  WH12LS39, which can read
about a third of the files on the CD.  That  LG Blu-ray burner is the ONLY
drive that can read ANYTHING from the  CD.

I next tried firing up the HP 150B.  While the HP 150B works  and will boot
to DOS 3.2 from the floppy that was sitting in its drive, it  can't read the
floppy with the papers on it.  It tries, but it can't  read it.

I found the old 486 in the basement.  It was retired when  its "C" 
drive started sounding wining and burned the CD just before it was  shut 
down
for the last time.  The 486 and drive hadn't been spun up in  years.  I
pulled its hard drive (a 1.6 GB IDE drive) and plugged it in  to an old
Windows XP box, but it lasted less than three minutes before it  failed,
screaming as it died.  Thus, it looks like paper is probably  the only media
readable twenty plus years later.

John
