I have recently seen a couple of requests for the disk upgrade information.
I made an offer a short while ago, still in effect, which runs like this:

	For $2.00, a REUSABLE mailer, a CORRECTLY FORMATTED (8-sector)
	floppy disk, and a return address, you can have the updated
	diagnostic disk which will correctly format disks larger than
	67 MB.  Goof in the conditions above, and you get a 'sorry about
	that' letter and you can try all over.  This offer will be honored,
	but has proven to be a burden.

	For $5.00, and a return address, I will supply everything else
	and throw in the photocopies of the upgrade instructions and PAL
	equations.  Sorry, I do not have a source of PALs yet.

Several people have responded so far.  Happily, the first two were
generous and sagacious enough to recognize the true economics of such
things, and sent $10.00.  Another sent the mailer and floppy with $5.00.
This is very much appreciated.  I am not starving or anything near it,
but the thoughtfulness and encouragement are a nice touch in these times
of electronic isolation.

So far, when I am in town, I am turning these things around the same day.
