In either case the darned thing wouldn't cooperate (so it goes back in the
hall; no desk space for naughty computers!), now I have my 128 set to 128 fast
mode, w/1571 to speed it along a little, up to disk 9 now.

Will post here when they are accessible and hopefully they won't be oversized
this time.  ;)

Trimmed more files than I thought, it's still over 300.   Will also run a
diskfile index on them for on-line perusal.

I also plan to add my ever popular 'Essential Utilities', 'Beginner's Info',
and 'Programmer's Utilities' disks (for 64/128 users).  I will I need to
update the utilities (later) to add d64 file makers/extractors.   :)  20 megs
of webspace is soooo nice.

Almost done with 11, plan to get the d64 set at least to the Mac before I hit
the sack.
