I still have a old 5-1/4" floppy drive in my computer drawer but I'd have to install it somehow - I don't think my desktop case has a slot that big. But I could probably do a temporary install somehow. But, Dude! I've never even *seen* a 8" floppie drive! ;-) Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs Porsche Road Test http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/ . - Original Message - From: "Gary Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 11:14 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] AUDIO SYSTEM PROBLEMS SOLVED IN 300D M.B. for$178plusshipping The problem may not be the lifetime of the media, but the lifetime of the player!

Well, considering that the CD was introduced circa 1983 and I bought a Kyocera player and some discs within about a year and that they (player included!) still work... I trust aluminum-plated pressed polycarbonate far more than I trust tape in terms of holding up. I am less sanguine about the _recordable_ CD/DVD media, but I could be wrong. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
