This is a message from a very slightly annoyed person, I'm using a 4mb A310 running
RISCOS 2 and Acorn DTP, my main prob is that the postscript files I export are doing
FA when they hit the LaserWriter here in the university, the support staff say helpfull
things like "different dialects in this language" and "non-standard systems" when I 
mention the word Acorn. The thing is files from my old A3000 (I'll kill the bugger who
nicked it!) used to work while I was doing my A-level projects.

The second hit is about a 5.25 inch Microscience HD I've been given, apparently it's
a 21 Mb ST506 MFM device, but I haven't a clue as to how I can connect it to my Archie,
is it worth the hassle? Can anybody suggest a method or make me an offer for it?

Multiple thanks in anticipation...
