Thanks! It worked!

I replaced the old drive with a newer 200 MB one, and now have Plan9
installed (the 4 floppy subset). 

Now to play around with it. I don't have the CD so my capabilities may be
somewhat limited. It's too bad the CD is so expensive, as an individual I
can't afford to purchase it without some indication of whether it will
actually be of long term use. And I can't find that out without purchasing
it. Hmmm, catch-22. 

Thanks again,

Kevin
