I know this is going to be a stupid question...have you tried the eternal spinners in the other drive: I brought BJ in 3D land may years ago and it read fine in MDV1_, but in MDV2_ it just eternally spun (whereupon I hit reset and spiked the tape as opposed to doing the sensible thing of

[ql-users] Crosswords

While fiddling with my old microdrive cartridges during the last few days, I came across a program called Crosswords by B. Otridge. Sadly, no contact address in the help files, but the program is quite impressive, allowing you to set up and solve crosswords, complete with a 12,500 word
