> > > I was just reading Steve's problems, which are somewhat beyond me, and it made me think of my own little problem. Right here on a little table next to me is an old IBM PC with 640K of memory, no hard drive, but two floppy drives. I used it for Professional Write word processing for several years prior to getting on the internet and I have stacks of files on floppies. The trouble is, I don't have a dos disk to get into the files. It uses DOS 3.0 or 3.1. Does anybody know where I can get that? I loaned that computer out for a while and it came back without that one little critical item. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Howard,
A serial mouse has a female plug for nine pins. I have only one and it only works if I push on the wire before I click the mouse. If I don't do this just right, I somehow get logged off. With some luck I will get through this message without any trouble. Send an E-mail if you want the DOS.
