I don't have any 2.5" to 3.5" adapters, so couldn't put itin a desktop machine (and my only PeeCee desktop machine is, errm, weird so a standard install might not have worked anyway). Tried another laptop, but the disk in that one had a weird interface dongle attached. That wouldn't come off even with quite a bit of force and I was afraid that if I really put some muscle into it I'd just pull the IDE connector off the board. Do you have a parallel ZIP drive? You can download DOS drivers for it from Iomega and then put your files on the ZIP Disks. Get the HD formatted load the ZIP DOS drivers with the floppy and of you go. That's the way I've done it in the past. Not as fast as HD but certainly faster than 24 floppies! I have all the Libretto drivers saved on my ZIP disks as well so I have them all if I need to do it again.
