Actually, you don't need to sell your 1000; a new 500 or 2000 will operate correctly even if you still own a 1000 (like I do). Which reminds me -- I finally had resaon to use the PCCopy (and PcC720 program to patch PCCopy to read a 3.5" 720K disk). First of all, I think it's time that PCCopy would know how to do this sort of ting on it's own -- I'm mean, it seems so silly that this program can only be used for 5.25" drives. Anyway, I tried it on my 2000 and zilch -- it couldn't recognize anything on the disk. So I tried it on my 1000 and it worked! What's the deal here? Is there something wrong with PCCopy or PcC720, or is there some incompatibility with the type of drive I have in my 2000? Please post definitive responses: I imagine this info would be helpful to others who stumble upon the need to copy data from 720K PC floppies. Flip side, joe piazza --- "Where's my other sock?" A.
