Hmm, did you mention that it was on there and I missed it? Anyway, not me - 
one's enough! Did it have manuals, though? I might give the new owner a prod 
if so and see if I can borrow/scan them some time.

But it's still bugger-all use without a way of configuring the system to 
recognise the drive, which is the problem I was having with mine. :-(  Even if 
you were to track down a copro you still need the config utility, which I 
suspect was on a different floppy to the main OS disk.
