Rip Van Winkle refers to an early American story about a man living in colonial America who is cursed into a long sleep and wakes up after the American revolution in a new country. It was written by Washington Irving. Here's a website if you're interested, I think they have the story posted there as well: http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~daniel/amlit/rvw/rvw.html By the way, its unadvised to use 1.4mb disks in an 800k drive. Although the idea of virgin (non-formatted) discs is fine, some 800k drives just don't like them regardless of what you do. Then again, some others have been known to work fine (same as VHS & SVHS tapes by the way). So it depends on the media and the machine they're being used in.
