@root42 I used a PETDisk Max v 2.0 to get data across to my 8050 - it can also read from web servers so it's easy to get data to or from it. I may try a ZoomFloppy one day too.

@ColinHaynes cool. Didn’t know that device yet. Is it configured as device 9 then, with the 8050 attached as well?

@root42 it is. And you can have up to three other (device numbered) drives that are on a web server.
