Hello,

I am curious if the old styles and sty files from the irish acts forum are available somewhere?
Also Recently tried to load some styles from a floppy on my pa80 and am getting disk error messages. Dirty floppy drive? bad floppy drive? Any ideas or troubleshooting tips? I beleive thee error message says generic disk error. tried formatting etc to no avail.


thanks,
Mike

Mike,

See if you can get a cleaning diskette somewhere, preferably one that has a tissue disk inside and a little bottle of fluid to wet the disk (wet cleaning system), since the dry cleaning diskettes are pretty abrasive on the heads and don't even work all that well.

After 2 years, I had to do both my computer diskette drives because neither would read a diskette (or format for that matter). After the wet cleaning, they work like a charm.

Gr.
John
