No, I have not e-mailed fug.  I probably should.

I have the Cloud-9 CD-ROM of the RTSI archive, but I am still working on it.

I have not had time to do much than answer e-mail recently.  I am 
currently on the hardware side trying to trouble shoot a second floppy 
subsystem.  So far I have been hit with a 3.5 inch drive that appears 
functional but out of allignment.  And a problem where the track 0 on 
the 5.25 drive is being corrupted.

I am thinking that I have a bad cable, and I may need to order one or 
the parts for one.

The missaligned floppy made it look like the problems with the floppy 
drives was worse.

I should have enough parts for three floppy subsystems.

This has interfered with my trying to improve my program that reads the 
3.5"  Coco floppies in a DOS box on Windows 9x.

I will probably not have any time to work on it for the rest of this year.
