From there you can skip all the graphics giberish and any CP/M & Pascal volumes. The first Sider I got many years back, during the "Goto your Mailbox" advertising spree had a Microscience HH 10 Meg MFM drive with a 1410 board. I was able to replace it with an ST-225 when it bit the big one two weeks out of warranty. Something that was quite common. -- tdiaz@coyote.csusm.edu -- Now Showing: Second Sight on a IIgs near you!
