They have the following vendor infor- mation printed on the jacket: Voice: (800) 800-6613 or (609) 683-5501 FAX: (609) 683-5502 Internet: info@infomagic.com Snail mail: InfoMagic P.O. Box 708 Rocky Hill, NJ 08553-0708 Comments: I was unsuccessful on installing 386BSD. I have not tried to install FreeBSD. I used the CD to make install disks, and have NetBSD 0.9 working on my computer, and attached to the Internet! p.s. I have never contacted the company, or know anything about them, this is not an advertisement, but I am a happy user. I don't remember how much it cost it was around $25.00, retail is suggested as $40.00. -- Michael Peer Internet e-mail: mpeer@cccd.edu
