That I did not know! I've got a brand new dot matrix in the loft somewhere :lol: I had a Citizen 224 with colour kit.. the pain of my life that thing was. Not sure if I still have it. I know I connected it up some years ago and MY GOD the noise the things makes.. I swore never to print with them again :lol:

Wondered why the floppy reads a different volume in EmuTOS

Same freshly formatted floppy reads more volume.

It's not urgent I know I just wondered when I saw it last night. No running problems.

Getting any queries out the way before my cut off period.

No idea on that one. Have to ask the EMUTOS guys that.
