Along with the plus, they've given me and a couple of disks, one with the greek os
(6.something) and another one with some apps. Both of them are 1.44MB (I guess
formated in a superdrive as 800k), and work just fine. Emmm, I believe that if
there is a problem with the floopy drive, it will be sort of impossible to be
fixed. If there is something wrong with the controler, will it be equaly bad?
Either way, I'm going to buy another box of disks tomorow! Who knows? :-)

:-) Which means that there is no way to find something simular in Greece! :-)
