If you truely have an origional IBM-PC/XT with its origional drive and controller, you will need the Diagnostic disk. There may be a few gurus out there who know better and I would welcome the help to enlighten me :-) Good Luck, Paul __________________________________________________________________ | | |"...and on the eigth day god created the Sauter Mean Diameter." | | - D.W.Senser | |________________________________________________________________|
