It came with both 5¼" and 3½" disks, but they were packed so tight together in a paper envelope from the factory that the 3½" disks had warped the 5¼" disks beyond repair. Another tragedy from age started to unfold. So I opened the box and everything looked mint inside of course except the floppy disks. This is why museums remove shrinkwrap off sealed items because it eventually degrades the material underneath. Now the box has ink missing and some tears. The shrinkwrap had sat tight on the box for 26 years and when I went to remove it the ink on the box also went with some of it. It finally arrived today and I took a photo of the box before I removed the shrinkwrap and I am glad I did. Tempra Pro is a hard to find MS-DOS based video graphic overlay suite for use with video capture cards, but I managed to find one sealed copy on Ebay. Unfortunately the SNAPplus I found did not come with a piece of software that my SNAPplus I had back in the early 90s came with which was Mathematica's Tempra Pro. As some of you know I finally found my most wanted piece of vintage hardware which was the Cardinal SNAPplus video card.
