Howdy,
   Does anyone out there have a floppy disk drive I could borrow to install 
Linux on my IBM ThinkPad 560Z?  I have the floppy cable, I just need the 
drive and IBM used the same drive on a bunch of laptops  If so, maybe you 
could bring it to the meeting this weekend and I'll bring my 560Z, the 
cable, and a PCMCIA CD drive.  If you bring it to the LIP, I'll install and 
return it to you right there.  If you think you have the right part, but 
are not sure, contact me off-list and I'll try to confirm it.
   I'll expect I'll be able to get a replacement for mine the first 
Saturday in November, so if nobody has one, I'll just have to stay with 
Windows 98 on my laptop another fortnight.
Thanks,
Ralph
