G'Day!  I couldn't quite believe my eyes when I read someone actually mention
the model III.  Therefore, I think that you are the correct person to ask.

Do you have _any_ idea where I can get decent mod III disks?  You see, I just
recently picked up a III at a campus surplus sale the other day.  A bit of
hardware fiddling got the machine to boot up to ROM, but it hates disks (it
is a two drive 48k model).  The disks are pretty chewed up, and I'm not sure
if it is my drives of the disks that are bad.  But TRSDOS, FORTRAN, Visicalc,
and Scriptsit all absolutely refuse to load.   Sometimes the machine gets
caught in a loop, other times it won't recognize the disk, and still others
if acts almost OK.... and then spins off into never never land.

Any possible help?!

Thanks,
-Andrew. ("adf@watcsc.uwaterloo.edu")
