I doubt BiaB 2014 came on a floppy disk distribution. My first encounter in the 1990's did, and that was for Atari. Are you sure it was 2014 that used floppy disks?

I picked 2014, but it could have been an earlier version, like 2012, but it was definitely 2012 or later. I built my house in Flagstaff that year, moving in in the Spring of 2013. I acquired BiaB after that. It was the Pro version, or whatever the minimal version was back then. Could have been 2 or more floppies. Definitely not a hard drive. I don't remember if I bought it or if it came with a purchase of something else. I do remember that it also installed a limited version of T-RackS that bugged me so often to buy other components that I uninstalled it. That put me off of IKM for a long time. I didn't buy AmpliTube until v4 and I also now have Syntronik 2. I tried Samplitude 4, but it has to have one of the worst UI's ever.

I just did some Google'ing and found images of some BiaB distribution disks on 5.25" floppies. Couldn't tell what year/version they were for. It's also possible that I downloaded BiaB and saved it to floppies myself. That was 10 years ago. The old Sony VIAO desktop I was using then has been in a landfill for at least 8 years.

If anyone from PG Music sees this: was BiaB ever distributed on 3.5" floppies? If so, what year(s)?
