What format are those disks in?? I did find the

have to image my disks too.? I have not used them yet and have never powered
on my Pied Piper at this point.? I hope to image them this weekend (if they
are still good).
Wish my Pied Piper was in better shape but I'm happy to have what I got.?
Here's a link:? http://vintagecomputer.ca/stm-pied-piper-computer? You can see
a pic of the manuals too.? I was considering scanning them but I'd have to
tear them apart so I haven't.

I have one as well in the original box with the external drive, manuals, etc.
but no disks - so I?ve never had it fully running. If you could see what?s
available that would be fantastic.
Thanks much!
Hi Santo, Pete,
I did email you (Santo) when I found them last year but I didn?t get round to
imaging them at the time. The win98 machine I built to do this is still where
I left it in the kitchen so I?m going to have a go tomorrow; the disks
themselves have been indoors in a decent climate so hopefully they?re all as I
left them when I last read them in 2002.
I?ve just realised how long ago that was :/ At least I know one of my Pied
Piper floppy drives was ok because that was originally what I used in said
win98 imaging machine 8 months ago.
Results as I get them!
Cheers

I have several of these including the full disk set of 'Perfect'
applications and diagnostics, demo disk etc. One of my jobs for last year
was to image those disks but it took me so long to find them I never got
one
