this deals with handling and archiving classic media. I seem to recall
someone mentioning some of the utilities such as 'putr', 'teledisk', and
various other won't work on a modern PC with a 5.25" floppy drive attached.
Am I remembering correctly? If so does anyone remember which programs are

Zane, I think that you will find that different folks have had different
experiences in this regard. It seems to depend upon the speed of the
processor, the make/model of the FDC, and the FD drive. I have used
TeleDisk with no problems on a 486/33. I cannot comment on putr.
Try it and see is probably the best guidance.
