I had an internal and an external drive (because I had a speccy DISCiPLE disk 
interface) - both worked fine - as long as you did indeed not reset with a disk 
/ disc in the drive. Edwin Blink's DPU (disk protector unit - 
http://www.samcoupe-pro-dos.co.uk/edwin/hardware/dpu/dpu.htm) worked a charm. 
But as with all things you are used to, it took a while before actually having 
the courage to leave the disk in the drive... :)

Roger - is your keyboard missing the full stop and comma keys?

lucky you didnt experience the external dirve interface the one
supposedly compatible with the +d external drive
different from the internal one which wiped the data you just saved
off the disc if you left it in thte drive and pressed reset!


anyone done any networking?
