I was talking about the floppy disk itself (because I know there was a
floppy disk called 'Btae.d' in the package I shipped with the LC. But then
again, you're not that far off, because recently, I sent a working disk
drive (reader) to replace the flaky one. The messages are appearing after
the replacement.

Indeed, indeed. This LC was sent to a user with close to 0% computer
experience.

It was wrecked in the process of manual removal. The drive also died...

I'll stick to floppy disk :))

And I've just posted a message to the owner with a billion <cmd>-<period>
prescription. Hope it works!

Thanks!
