Brilliant - ta! I think I've got a floppy somewhere that should have that on 
(I don't think I ever managed to get around the password in the Winchester 
that I have, and can't remember if the memory test was in an accessible area 
of the disk (i.e. doesn't need the password) or not.

Hmm, well I've got a level 3 FS archive with the following in:

-rw-a--     0.0 fat     5833 bx stor 30-Sep-98 00:00 AForm
-rw-a--     0.0 fat     2195 bx stor 30-Sep-98 00:00 Backup

-rw-a--     0.0 fat     2207 bx stor 27-Dec-98 00:00 T.Y2KFS3

... presumably FS3-092 is the critter (I think these came from Pete Turnbull a 
few years back)

I should be able to xfer those across to a beeb easily enough, anyway.

cheers :)
