DEMENTED!  I resemble that -er-  resent,  uh . . . wel-llll . . . (never mind)

Actually, several of us on the ClassicCmp list are the seemingly demented 
ones who use or intend to use ASR-33's as operator consoles for some of our 
classic machines from the early 80's and back.

I agree there will be several of our colleagues who will be able to help. I 
don't have working 8" floppy drives for my CP/M machine otherwise I would 
offer to give it a whack (IF the floppy media would be compatible). Finding 
8" drives for my Heath H-8 system is one of those back burner projects I 
need to get to One of These Days.
