1970's circa ASCII art?

1970's circa ASCII art?

I'm looking for an archive or something with the ascii art from the
"olden" days. Back in the late 70's (when an Epson MX80 was $800 and
state of the art) there used to be tons of printer art -- even CPM
files. Usually playmates and Star Trek (see -- some things never
change). Does anyone have any idea where they might be.

I've got some on TRS-80 Color Computer II tapes, if anything still
exists to read them......

Also some on some TRS-80M3 Pro-DOS disks......


The problem is I don't have anything to read them.....


HIH, (NOT) :-)
Sorry not to be of any help. :-(

On 8-inch floppy disks gathering dust at the back of filing
cabinets.  And RL01 20MByte removable diskpacks.

No, I think he means this kind of disk:
