How the heck are you supposed to get the disk out? I seem to crash the system during half of my inserts or attempted ejects... Definitely not a higher esthetic. Jonathan Dubman As I remember from readinq the documentation, that is what the little slot is for just above the right hand corner of the flopty. Supposedly, you can insert something and pop out the disk in case of power failure or something. Peter
