Several people suggested that I try a program distributed by Radio Shack called TRS-Floss. It runs $90, and supposedly will read Mod III disks. The guys at the Computer Center had no idea if it would read Mod I with Percom-style double density. Has anybody used this program? Is it worth the money? At this point, I'm almost ready to buy a new system and pay some high school kid to retype all the stuff I've got on the Mod I. If anybody has Words of Wisdom they are willing to offer, I am more than happy to hear from you! [please note: our email link here is ... questionable ... at best. Perhaps posting would not be rude, given these circumstances.] T'anks! ___Samuel___ _________I_claim_and_accept_sole_responsibility_for_the_above._SjG.____________ | "The world is filled with the reptant (213) 336-3592 (9-5, M-F) | and the squamus.
