Same here....I still have the 800XL. Did you spend the $350 on the
EXTERNAL 5-1/4" floppy drive, and notch your disks too? *L*
wow. i remember doing that. i completely forgot, but now it's coming
back, lucidly. i spent an entire afternoon after school with an x-acto
knife (or something very similar) modding discs that the library was
going
to throw out.

Duncan, you work too hard... Single-hole hole punchers worked great for
this task - cut out a semi-circle instead of a whole hole.. :) Sure it
wasn't square, but it worked like a charm, without the possibility of
slicing the disk [or your hand]...
Now, for the 3.5" floppies, it was a little more difficult, because a
hole-puncher left a much larger hole than was required. For this task,
I found that a swiss-army knife with a leather-punch tool to be
effective [albeit a little slow].
A switch work much better, so did the the double firmware and another
6810 (for the 1050). 180K, could hold dozens of programs!
