Let me know. I am reluctant to bang these backup disks too much, since
I don't know how fragile they are. When I get my Flash mass storage
card, I can transfer everything to it. But that likely won't be for a
month or so.
In the meantime, I tried copying some files I wanted to mess with, off
a 3.5" backup to a new 3.5" disk. Having only one 3.5" drive, it
didn't take me long to see the error of my ways. :-) I then tried
copying batches of them off the backup to a 5.25" drive, then from
there to a new 3.5" disk. This was better, but it started making me
wish I had a decent sized RAM drive.
