I can imagine that might be for the disk, but not the drive itself. I recently cleaned up my garage and found a crate full of old hardware (boxes and boxes of 5.25" and 3.5" floppies, 2 5.25" floppy drives, 286 motherboard, 1x 84MB HDD, very old software and games etc...). The floppy drives and diskettes still worked. :-) No idea what I must do with all this old stuff though.... Does anybody collect such stuff? @Florian Definitely try to preserve such old software releases. If you can, you should upload it to SourceForge. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
