Does it have PCMCIA slots i.e. get an old ethernet caard, find someone with a Novell server and a dos client if possible - would probably be fastest. Does it have a removeable hard drive (or are you willing to take the cover off to yank it out)? You should be able to get a small adapter (I have seen them while fixing other people's computers but don't have one myself) to convert from the mini IDE connector to the regular desktop size IDE connector (usually also needs a free power cable in the desktop as laptops supply the power to power the drive through the IDE connector as well) Andrew Hakman Bal Soora wrote: > Hi, > > Is there anywhere I can get disk images, etc for a floppy only install?
