Gah, memories of drilling holes using a pair of scissors to turn a DD 3.5" 
disk into a HD one :-)

I seem to recall cutting 5.25" discs with scissors, too. I think that was when 
I was a penniless kid and 5.25" media was like gold dust - I'd found a bunch 
of commercial disks somewhere which had no provision in the jacket for 
write-enabling, so I doctored them...

cheers
