Do you have an 8" diskette drive? If not, my former employer may be able to help. It would be a billable service, but if you are interested leave a post and I will give you the phone number.

AFAIK you have two options: 1.) You may be able to hook a S/36 compatible QIC drive to your 5363 and 5364. 2.) You will have to use an outside conversion service to change media. Dave

There is a magazine called "Processor" that is a newsrag devoted to VAR, and OEM advertisements for new and used equipment. Dave

I can give you the name of a local service in our town that used to have an 8 to 5 inch diskette converter, and probably still do. my email is jolee@computerpower.com
