The OP asks for an "installation disk", not "installation files".
Yes, one can buy "new" stuff on e-Bay. Meaning unopened.
I'm sure that will come as a surprise to you but the value of an
object has nothing to do with the opinion you might have of it, no
matter how "intelligent" it might be. LOL. Some museum pieces can
fetch quite a good price by the way.
And what's a "maroon"?
