    Thank you for the interesting link David.

    I am torn between trying to get my floppy drives repaired or switching
    to a floppy drive emulator.

    Actually, I prefer diskettes but the floppy disks are increasingly
    developing defective sectors. I still have enough of them, but who knows
    how long my supply will last?

    Has anyone had experience with the 34pin floppy adapter in a server 95?

    Wolfgang

    I ordered two sets of these and will be experimenting with painting them. I think I want to lay down some sort of textured primer to that feeling, then Rustoleum Ivory Bisque and then a clear coat of some time. I'll take suggestions.

    Also, I am going to see if I can locate a blue knob for the Gotek Rotary knob and I want to see if I can paint the two little buttons the same blue color.
