Plugged in the Viglen dual 40/80 5.25" diskdrives but no activity was observed.

It may be because I don't actually know how to use these things.

DIR doesn't do anything.

From dim and distant memory it was *DIR A to read the default external drive.

This lot should help.

Morning

Gosh, my phone hasn't stopped ringing today. And I haven't detected any fishing attempts - is it the silly season?

My god man... and who said universities were stuck in the dark ages.

It was very dark in that storeroom, I can tell you.

I think there were things living in there too, because I haven't stopped itching since.

What?

RTFM*?

Whatever next.

*I do have the printed manuels for it.

Ho hum.

Why doesn't help? work?

Why doesn't help? work?

Did that ever help? The irony.

[zeitghost]

I didn't have the printed manuel for the dfs.

And it's a B+ not a master, just like the little sticker on the front says.



*DIR is a CD command apparently.

*CAT does the business.

Or would if the drives worked.

I found the "Disc Filing System User Guide" on the interweb thingie & after a struggle managed to print it out.

I have difficulties with these printer drivery thingies in getting them to do what I want.

Only took 3 tries this time.

Did the ribbon run out on the Dot Matrix?

Did the ribbon run out on the Dot Matrix?

Nah.

The toner ran out on the laser printer.

Actually, it's the number of tries it takes me to get the damn thing to print in booklet form.

This time it turned out that all I needed to do was ask it to print in booklet form.

The last time it was a bit more complicated for some reason.
