How many disks to AutoCAD 12?

[NeXT]

I have a small collection of Autodesk software (Instant Artist, Animator and AutoCAD 10) and today I saw a copy of AutoCAD 12 c4 for Windows for 10 cents a floppy. I bought whatever disks I could find (8 disks) and when I got home I tried installing it but it seems I'm missing a few disks, In the complete set, how many 3 1/2" disks were there? I have from disks 1-8 as well as I have one of the AutoCAD 12 AMEs (it's on three disks) and I want to install it on my under construction 486 CAD system I am creating. as well as my toughbook which I carry around with me.

I pretty sure it was 9 disks, so you're likely missing just 1.

If I had it, I'd send you an image of the missing disk. :-\

As a side note, I saw this a while ago while searching for info on AutoCAD for DOS, and it became my new dream AutoCAD setup:

Damn, so I am missing a single disk. Looks like it's either off to search for it or stick with 10.

As for that CAD rig, mine is somewhat similar in that I have a tablet with the four button mouse thing as well as I have a high-resolution display that connects (via BNC) to an Artist card (I made a thread on this card a while ago) and in the box you got 16 (or 32) megs of ram, a 66Mhz Overdrive and other goodies. What I need actually is a clone AT case (not worth doing all this to a real AT unless all the hardware was from IBM like the above photo).

Lotsa old cases around here if you want to pay to have 'em sent across the country...

Sometimes I still wish I lived in Guelph. Then I would be a stones throw away.
Shipping would be too rich for me. I'll have to ask my friend at Free Geek Vancouver if he can find some cases for me.
I also need a PC/XT clone case for an ASUS P5A-B AT motherboard I have.
