Doubtful. No1 - they're well over ten years old; No2 - they were bought
second-hand (which also raises the question of whether or not I'm even
allowed to use it, since I'm not sure if first-sale rights apply to
licenses); and No3 - AFAICT the Vole doesn't do refunds ... ever, they
leave that to the POS (OEM, retailer, etc.). My "retailer" was a bloke
on eBay, who sold me an A530 accelerator/HDD + bridgeboard, along with
these DOS disks, a couple of years ago.
So what's the going rate for a 15 year old copy of DOS, anyway?
I doubt it has any collectors value (who gets all nostalgic over
something as dull as DOS/Windows?), and it's of zero practical use, so
frankly I'm inclined to bin it at the next clear-out.
If someone wants to pay the postage, I'll send them the disks for free,
otherwise they're going to the Big Disk Box in the Sky.
