USB floppies do exist, here's one here (www.dse.co.nz)

Yeah, good point re the speed thing, still speed does not really matter so much. I am just trying to find other ways of getting drivers etc into the machine. I downloaded/installed the unofficial service pack that you told me about, but it did not seem to make any difference. Noticed today that it has a 9 pin comm port, could I use that to connect it to another computer and 'borrow' the other computers CD drive ?

Going to town tomorrow to check a couple of things out, but thanks for the info.
