From what he told me it sounds like an ancient DOS CAD machine, like F&P had. Had an HDD, you'd run floppy based designs into it. I had to fix that once, something happened with DOS. rather easy it was.... Anyway son says the main thing is getting the data off it. I said do they operate it using the floppies? No. So I guess it has an hdd of some kind, running something. DOS? Xenix perhaps? LOL. Whatever, if it's got an HDD no major. might be time to get a new machine though......geez, and I thought F&P was bad back then.	pctek (84)
