Well, maybe you have something I need; a 150 baud acoustic coupled modem for my Altair 8800. Mine died last week. I tried using a 300 baud modem, but the Altair couldn't keep up with both the teletype and the modem. I also need a new 8" floppy drive, since one went out last month. Maybe I should just consider upgrading. I hear that some of the newer computers have 5.25" floppy drives and use TV screens to display information. I guess it would save a lot of paper. 8P -- Larry D. Pyeatt All standard disclaimers apply. pyeatt@cs.colostate.edu Void where prohibited. http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~pyeatt
