[Coco] Dsk Files

[LEONARD MILLER]

Thanks for the follow-up Ward.  I might mention that my coco does have (2) 3
1/2" floppies, so I can use them.  Doesn't XP have a compatibility mode?
Would that enable me to use dskini?

Leonard

Short answer?  No.  XP doesn't allow the necessary access to the disk
controller.

Always good to keep a couple of slightly older machines around.  (Though
you don't have to keep _everything_ like I do and causes half the
friction in my marriage).

Consider urinals and the Army.  They were never a problem, because men
regard the entire earth as a urinal in waiting.  The side of the road,
the middle of the road, a tree, the ocean -- they don't discriminate.
The way feminists see oppression everywhere, men see urinals.  It's a
design feature.			-- Fred Reed, www.fredoneverything.net
