Well, I've tried, and failed :(. I ran it through my own little dsk program which handles dodgy sectors (I'll get around to uploading it one day), but despite the fact that the sectors that are dodgy are all at the end (only 16 in total!) the disk is naffed. It will get a directory ok and some things load, but apart from that its dodgy - end of file problems & somtimes just hanging the compiler. If I get my Sam out off its shelf in the near future I'll try and make a copy of the disk on that & then run it through the DSK thing (the same always seems a bit more resilient to [ignorant of?] dodgy disks that PC's for some reason). The problem with the backup is that the protection will most definately be uncatered for. Hmm. I tried some of my old games too (the ones I wrote with SCADS), but alas, all the disks seem to have been got by the MagnetoMonster... ohh well :os Martin Fitz. -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 11077801 AOL/CServeIM: Flupert
