To give you the opportunity to create some find memories later on ...
DataCAD 8, from memory, came bundled with Visual Reality so you may need to reinstall it at some time if you still use it?

Recent versions of Datacad seem to open all of the DC5 and SM3 symbols just fine for me, so unless you have another reason other than nostalgia, I would say no.

Thank you Mark and Josh. I don't even know whether it is possible to find a cord that plugs into the key and the printer and the computer so this is probably a moot question. I have the same key for DataCad 9. Will the disks for these function i if put into a computer and why would one need them if you have DataCad 19? I am sure I have some projects saved on Zip disks and I don't have a device to read them anymore. I guess that the answer is that all these things are good for the garbage can. I value your replies though.

I think it is right that Visual reality came with Dcad8, but it could be installed independently. VR probably won't work on later versions of windows anyway. I know Simply 3d doesn't, and at least that was a native windows successor. Both packages work on XP.
