Re: Sysex OS for SD-1

So, I guess I could burn the Gibeler program and the disk image to a 
CDR....then I could take the CDR to my local PC store and get them to 
make the floppy, but that will cost more than buying a new floppy 
online. :)

I need to find a friend that has a PC with an internal floppy drive, 
huh?

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
