His associate Salam (email lost) of http://www.vintage.org also runs a museum in USA, might be able to help similarly, trading. Hypo Vereinsbank in Munich, Bavaria, Germany were still using 8" drives on computers in bank branches about 2 years ago, don't know if theyve been thrown out yet. PS I have a sector recovery tool I wrote for 5.25" on dos, but works on 3.25" on FreeBSD too, just that the recovery bit is better on DOS than BSD, on BSD it's vaguely dd'ish, on DOS it really recovers data. http://bim.bsn.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/valid/ Julian Stacey Munich Unix (FreeBSD, Linux etc) Independent Consultant jhs@bim.bsn.com http://bim.bsn.com/~jhs/ Ihr Rauchen = mein allergischer Kopfschmerz !
