[MacTUG] Quadra 800 - system 7.1. Need MacTCP on 800k floppy

[Paul Henderson]

I have some ancient Mac software on an external hard disk (SCSI), which 
I could let you borrow.  I think it has all of the stuff you need.  It 
may even have Mac system software back to v6.x.  I used to have MacTCP 
on a floppy, but I think I discarded all of my old floppies.
