I accessed the FTP site and downloaded some files from the toolkit. It's been
a while since I used Teledisk so it should be fun. Is Teledisk the best app for
transferring the files. I believe I also have 22disk, RainDos, and Uniform.
Sifting thru the various programs I was very impressed by the possible
capabilities of the 350. It seems quite a bit more powerful than the Rainbow.
I hope it looks for floppies before the passworded HD. They mention that you
can make a new startdsk and link it to the old one bypassing the password.
The default password is SYSTEM according to a file on the FTP site but
doesn't give a substitute for username.
