Yay, now I need some Osborne boot media!

24 Nov 2014

...

    As things
 sit, I don't even have a PC with a 5-1/4" drive installed, if (and that's
 +if+) it were capable of writing discs for the Osborne format. If you have any
serious intentions of vintage computer collecting, this 
is a must have.

Isn't "must have" a bit strong?

Maybe I'm more of a vintage computer user than a collector or maybe I'm just
not serious but a VAXstation 2000 and a BBC Micro have managed to cope with
all of my 5-1/4" disk needs so far.  As far as I'm concerned the hobby is
about what can be done without resorting to a PC, not what can be done with
one as a prerequisite or as some kind of fallback to be used for routine tasks.

Now back to the regular religeous war on US vs European power distribution
(which I have strongly held opinions on too but I don't think it's going to
do much good to voice them, especially when each mail seem to be arriving
twice until the list gets back to normal...)

Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
