Subject: [DuoList] duo's for donation

Hi

I have two duo's that I need to get rid of.  I would like to donate them
to anyone willing to pay postage, but I would like to do a clean install
or somehow erase the drives.  Can anyone advise me how I can do this?

Thanks

Rich

Sorry for the mis-posting earlier.  I hope this is the correct  
format.  I found the sites for both the system 7.5.3 and the one for  
the Apple share client 3.8, but now I seem to be having problems  
downloading them to floppy disks or to CD's.  I am downloading them  
on my iMac.  If I burn a CD the power mac can't read it.  If I  
download the floppys they are 1.4mb. They fit on the floppys if they  
are in dos format, but they won't open on the power mac or the duos.   
if I convert them to Mac OS Standard there is only 1.2mb available  
and the information won't fit.  What am I missing here?
