Then get some compressed air and blow out any dust bunnies, dirt, etc and see if that helps any (You could also just blow on it). If not, you might ask if anyone has an extra floppy they would part with. You could also get an external floppy drive and floppy microdock. i can't imagine that these are very expensive on eBay right now. Tom ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
