Well, I contacted them after I bought the two CDs I have and told them 
what I could do for them. They seemed singularly uninterested at the 
time, I guess the attitude of "We're the only game in town and we only 
sell a couple dozen disks a year anyway." has a lot to do with it. 
There's not a lot of profit in this kind of stuff, and reinvesting 
development energy into it is often just a dead end.

Scanning all the documents is a huge task. That's why I'm happy to buy 
the pre-scanned data from them even if their software is very basic. 

Does anyone have parts books for the '79 and '82 Spider? I'd really like 
to get my hands on a set of parts books as I now have a car built up with 
pieces of both, a parts book would resolve a lot of little issues.
