This is the last call for folks interested in pooling resources to get a copy of Teledisk Pro. So far, counting myself, we've got nine people in on it. This dropped the per-person price down to around $17.00 each (shipping included). Sydex was willing to go along with the group buy on two conditions: First, that there be one central point of contact (a person) that they can encode the copy to; And second, that this same person be POC for all tech support questions. I have volunteered to be this POC. Given that the license would be for up to 25 users, we have sixteen slots left. In the event we actually do get 25 people interested, it will drop the per-person price down to around $6.00. For those that may not know, Teledisk is a marvelously handy utility that will read any floppy format that can be read using PC-based hardware, including PCs equipped with such hardware as the well-known 'CompatiCard,' and turn the data on said floppy into a single image file that can be archived or sent to anyone else. Once sent, anyone with similar hardware can reconstruct an exact image of the original floppy using a freely redistributable extractor program. As one might imagine, this has a lot of possibilities for preserving old boot and application floppies for such things as KayPro's, Commodores, Apples, DEC hardware, and God only knows how many other pieces of gear that used floppies. The image files can be easily stored on long-lived media, such as CD-R discs, and recreated at will. Again, the only limitation is that a PC's floppy drive be able to, at the hardware level, read the original diskette. The current version runs under DOS, or under a DOS window in W95 or NT Workstation. One caveat: Since it is possible that the program makes direct hardware calls to the floppy drive, it may not perform as it should under NT, thanks to NT's security features. Other than that, I know of no problems. Will anyone else who may be interested in getting in on the group buy please drop me a PRIVATE E-mail, so we don't end up cluttering the list? Thanks in advance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio:(WD6EOS) E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com SysOp: The Dragon's Cave (Fido 1:343/272, 253-639-9905) "Our science can only describe an object, event, or living thing in our own human terms.
