I can't. All my MFM drives died well over a decade ago. In fact, all of the MFM's I had seemed to die after a just a few years of use... If I wanted to go through the work of unpacking my old computer stuff (not happening...), I _could_ try a really old IDE - which was working when packed away. Technically, I guess it was pre-IDE drive, since it came with it's own interface card which was supposedly IDE. Allow I'm certain MFM's blew like light bulb's, this guy has a page saying they were quite reliable: http://www.redhill.net.au/d/d-a.html Ha! I recognize the ST-225 and ST-251. But, I'm not sure if I owned them. The MFM drives I remember looked at little bit like the TM262 or HH-1050 pictures, odd light "orange" color cast metal, and a big exposed stepper motor like floppy... > Try compiling from ... god forbid floppies > sometime and you can really see the difference. You mean 5 1/4 inch floppies (or "god forbid," 8 inch floppies...), not "large capacity," and "modern," 3 1/2 inch floppies, right? Personally, I wouldn't even attempt compiling on 5 1/4's with anything other than Turbo C/C++, or perhaps another compiler of the era. Rod Pemberton
