Is there any | possibility that the old Compaq had some wierd file system for | floppies (obviously a question for the old farts among the list | ;-) ). | Thanks very much!
is it a 720k floppy? eons ago, those were the 3.5 floppies. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
