Hello Guys, I'm a long time lurker, 1st time poster. I bought my 102 a few years back and a model 200 more recently. I'm only 25 but I remember see one on Discovery Channel in the late 80's or early 90's and I wanted one. So now I have two. It sat on my shelf for a long time. Well just the other day I got a TPDD. Eject mechanism hadn't been used in a long time and was stuck but I managed to fix that. My question is how can I test the drive to see if it works? I see I need a file call FLOPPY.CO and that I would need to boot off the disk. Where can I find this file and how to I get it onto the disk. Can I take a regular FAT formated disk and just copy it. I doubt it is that easy. Or is there a image out there I can just use "dd" to blow on to a floppy. Thanks ahead of time guys. Keith Johnson The Catskill, New York. -- -- Si Vis Pacem, Pare Bellum
