Core made disk controllers, and disk drives, and later tape drives. The

So that's what that is! I've had it around for over a decade, could never
remember why I kept it, where I came across it, etc.
At any rate, be careful. At one time, CORE303 was
widely distributed
publicly and many copies are infected with a boot-sector virus.
This particular copy appears to be clean. I've scanned it with the latest issue of
AVG Antivirus.
My question: Should I even bother keeping it around? Is it of any real value, historical
or otherwise?
If so, I'll create a subcategory for it, or stick it in an existing one. If not,
PURGE! ;-)
Let me know, please. Thanks!
