  Hmmm... Sinclair microdrives were known for being WORN
(write once, read 
 never) units, so I do have problems trying to run a business from one of 
 those machines. Oh well... >> 
Not a _business_, but a couple of non-critical business apps.  And, yes, the 
microdrives are horribly unreliable.  I'm using a third-party drive i/f and a 
DSDD 5.25" drive for storage.  The i/f was developed (and is still 
supported!) by a fellow here in the States.  I get 450 KB out of each 
diskette, which suits my needs ;>)
