ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.pc»

From Alexander Bondarenko To All 9 June 2008

Press RESET immediately, Alexander! 09 Jun 08 15:11, Alexander Bondarenko wrote to All: AB> Not long ago the task of writing to 3.5 floppy disks for the purpose of transfer arose AB> some programs for real...

Because if the flop driver is broken, no one needs to fix it... :-( I'm dying again. And Alko says he’s dead.

I only need a flopik so that in case something happens, I can exchange information between the pussy and the speck. KF> Works there KF> ok.

He lies everything, so you can put pickled ones in his pocket for this. /That’s all, Kirill, you can scroll further.../
