I've still got BIAB version 7 on a couple of floppies. It was bundled with PTPA version 1 on a single floppy! But extra Styles? I don't even remember how I got hold of BIAB in the first place. I was still in my computer music infancy. I don't think I even had a GM soundcard at that point. (Even I fell victim to the fallacy of "BIAB's cheesy sound.")

I did have a copy of Passport Master Tracks Pro, a great MIDI sequencer, into which I learned to copy and paste MIDI tracks from BIAB for editing, which was the seed of what I do now with BIAB and Reason. Bob Norton still raves about MTP. Somewhere I still have some 50 to 80 Mb drives around with some pretty good MIDI files from that time. I wasn't bright enough to back everything up to floppies.
