I just got Maple in the mail for my NeXT, but it came on floppy disks.  My
cube is an old one and doesn't have a floppy disk drive in it.  I have lots
of PC's and a couple of SunSPARC's networked to it.  Is it possible to use
the drives of these machines to get the software to the NeXT?  If not, is
there someone in the Portland, OR, area (connected to the internet) who has
a floppy drive I can "borrow" for a little while?
