felt like digging.. Too bad I don't think I've
got anything that'll
read
those 360K floppies anymore.. (If they're still good.) :-)
I'm just about to get a 5.25" floppy drive up and running in my main PC. I
ordered a Catweasel enhanced floppy controller and I recently found a Teac dual
5.25"/3.5" floppy drive which I hope works. (If anyone knows a good source for
new 5.25" floppy drive cleaning disks in Perth, Western Australia I'd be most
grateful for the heads-up.)
Once I get them all running I'd love to help anyone read, write or image old disks,
but I fear Australia is a long way away from most of the people on this list.
Speaking of which, I've salvaged a whole bunch of original 5.25" disks for
various programs. I'll post a list when I've sorted through it, if anyone's
interested. Some of them have useful things like serial numbers written on the labels.

is that the 2000?
A quick Google shows that the 2000 was the first with a 186. I love the way that the
Tandy used them as a CPU but by the time the 486 was out they were just being used for
caching hard drive controllers. (I had a lovely VLB caching controller right up until I
walked away from it about 3 years ago -- kicking myself now)
