Hi Tony,

Yes, shouldn't be too tricky.

IIRC the Sirius User Group were talking about trying to get permission to
duplicate the new floppy controller but I don't think they pursued the project.
After all they'd probably only sell a few boards to club members, and how many
people would want them if it meant not being able to access their existing
discs?

Hmmm, I think it may be time for me to dig up the 'phone number for the group
and renew old acquaintances; it's been about 5 years since I had any real
contact with them now.
