Re: looking for S3 rev 5.4 boot disk on floppy

2011-10-12 by d.crocombe

Did you manage to get the Fairlight Version 5.4 disks you were after.

I have found a set but haven't tested them lately (>10 years).

If you still need disks then let me know and I'll try to copy them for you.

What are your plans for a replacement hard disk?
I worry my 1986 vintage disk will fail one day as well.

Regards,
 
David Crocombe.
