The good news is: Buggy Boy might be working soon.

Yeah... with another 32k in a RAM pack you should see the system fly!
Also consider installing a 'hard disk' instead of running from floppy ;-)

Well at least get a double sided floppy. You know you can make a hole
in the floppy disks you already have to make them double sided too ;-)

yeah... I did it when i got rid of my ST and bought my Amiga (IIRC),
knocking the hole in the floppy (which was single sided on my ST) made
it compatible with my Double sided amiga 880kb drive :)

Hehehe , that brings back memories of sitting there for hours on a night
copying dozens of disks.
It saved so much time when I got an external second drive to be able to do
disk to disk copies.

Or getting a pile of 20 or 30 disks and then having to copy them all for
three other people because you knew that next week they'd be doing the same
for you.

the continuous clicking from the floppy drive whenever the drive is empty!
