OT: Small / light NOT expensive PC with RS-232 port

I suspect we have finally got down to the root cause of your problem.

The disk is one that is only compatible with later versions of Windows but there is a shim driver somewhere that allows older Windows versions to read them. Or you could close the session on another RW drive.

But if the PC has USB send him the software on a throwaway memory stick!

The blind leading the blind!

Very funny. You can't even *describe* your problem unambigously!

Try this one from Adaptec which is free.

No guarantee that it will work for you but I have used it in the dim and distant past ( pre Y2k ).

Not doing so good on the AST; my zip is 98503. Willing to pay reasonable amount for yours. Please pass on particulars in e-mail to me. Thanks.

Why yes, it is. Sorry about not getting back to you with the particulars. You kind of got crowded out. I'll have to find a mutually agreeable way to ship. If you have a loose licence it will run Win2K as well.

I would suggest either Snail or FedEx (prolly best way), *NOT* UPS as they may damage it and even if it is "insured",they have a bad habit of refusing to pay. Willing to pay shipping in advance.
