I'll bet there is a lot more interest in the drives than in the disks. Are they 360 KB disks or the fancy high density "HD" 1.2 MB disks? It's funny to remember that I used to think I could never fill one of those 360 KB disks with my word processor files. Back then Word Perfect files weren't a lot different from plain text, so it took a long time to type a 20 KB document (I was not much of a typist at first). Mike
