Thanks for the feedback, Rootstonian! And, yes, the old thing still powers up and runs quite well. In fact, if I do an "alt -" it "cranks" from 4mhz to 10mghz into "turbo" mode!!! Totally impressive, don't you think??? Plus a light turns on in turbo mode!!!! Awesome!

I, too, googled PFWrite with lackluster results. Oh well.

I have considered the print and scan to .pdf solution but, ugh, I really dread doing so. Would you believe I have the original printer, purchased at the same time I bought the 8088, an Epson LX800 with tractors for the continuous forms plus all the bells and whistles available at that time . Total price in 1987 for 8088 PC plus Epson printer plus tax = $1706.60.

Ah, yes...the good ol' days. I first wrote programs using 80 column cards starting around 1965 using old, original RPG for an IBM "mainframe". I believe it was a System 360/20...but, alas, my memory is just not quite as good as it used to be. I also wrote RPGII for an IBM System III using 96 column cards! I could go on....too many details and too many systems that I can't even remember them all.

I'll let you know how this all plays out....I just might have to do a "build from scratch" to house both the 5.25" floppy drive and the 3.5 floppy drive. Woe is me
