Well, my adventures with my Compaq Portable III continue. I received a junk CP today and I was able to use the plasma screen to replace the working CP without the screen. The thing is, the 5 1/4" disk drive on my working CP is not working quite correctly. Whenever I format a floppy disk, I get over 2/3 of the disk in bad sectors. I'm not scared, cause I think the previous owner of the computer never cleaned the read-write head with a cleaning disk, and I think the head is clogged with years and years of dust and really-tiny disk flakes. Is this the reason, or is it something worse?
I'd like to be able to copy Arachne to my computer so I can surf the internet early-1990s style! (OR maybe go a little further back and dial-in to a still-running BBS!)
