Have you asked in the Commodore or Classic Computers echo. And before

Yes, solutions have been offered but the cost of getting the cab;e made etc, just doesn't seem worth it for one disk.

you spend a lot of effort you really should fire up a C=64 and boot
the disk. I've had them go bad on me just sitting in their storage
sleeve in a disk box. I blamed it on A) cosmic radiation or B) space aliens.

Already checked it that way and the data is in tact. :)

I had a clewless G.F. once that found a disc laying on the kitchen
counter where I had been reading the label to someone on the phone
(pre cell phone days). So she stuck on the refrigerator door with
a magnet. OY! Vey ist mir.

Your solution may lie with TPUG if they're still in operation.

If someone has the requisite gear they will probably be glad to he'p.

My local Commodore/Amiga groups and even the general confuser groups
have died off for lack of interest. Only thing left around here is a
group of folks wo logged on to Springfield's first BBS - named Minnie
because it ran on homebrew software on a Burroughs B20 mini computer
(mini for the day and in comparo to Burroughs main frames) It had 4
dial-up lines so people could play the on-line games or chat with one
another. Three to six of us "old timers" still get together on the 2nd Wednesday of every month for beverages and a nosh - and to shoot the
breeze.

Title: Toronto Pie
Categories: Canadian, Cakes, Desserts, Fruits
Yield: 9 Servings

1/2 c Milk; scalded, heated till
-bubbles appear around
-edges
2 tb Butter
1 c Cake and pastry flour
1 1/4 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
2 lg Eggs
2/3 c Granulated sugar
1/4 ts Vanilla
Raspberry jam
Icing sugar

"The Home Cook Book , published in Toronto in 1879, included
a recipe for Toronto pie. Although continuing as a family
favorite, the name slipped into disuse during the
intervening years. A delicate, hot-milk sponge cake split
and filled with raspberry jam, Toronto Pie belongs in the
same family as Boston cream pie." During my 30+ years living
in Toronto, I have never heard of this cake.

Grease a 9 inch round layer cake pan and line with wax
paper. Combine scalded milk and butter.

Sift or blend together flour, baking powder and salt. Beat 2
eggs until very light and fluffy. Gradually beat in
granulated sugar and vanilla.

With mixer at high speed beat eggs and sugar for 1 minute.
Fold in dry ingredients and then stir in hot milk mixture.
Turn into prepared pan. Bake in preheated 350ºF/175ºC oven
for 30 to 35 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly
touched.

Cool in pan. When almost cool, loosen edges and remove from
pan. Split into two layers, sandwich together with raspberry
jam and sprinkle icing sugar on top.

Agreed. Seems they are still in some form or operation so I'll let you
know how I make out.

The original form of that - the "Minnie-fest" predated the Cooking Echo picnics. My first echo picnic was at Pat Stockett's down in Alabama. It
was nice meeting people I'd been talking to on the echo and being able
to put a face with the name.

Then I took my sister to the one the following year in Hemmingford, PQ.
On the way home she looked at me and said, "We could put one of these
on. Couldn't *you* big brother?"

And the Y2k picnic was born. Bv)=

Title: St. Martha's Guild Potato Salad
Categories: Potatoes, Pork, Vegetbles
Yield: 6 Servings

2 lb Red potatoes
1/2 c Bacon; cooked crisp then
- crumbled
1/2 c White onion; fine chopped
1 1/2 tb A-P flour
4 ts White sugar
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Black pepper
1/4 c Cider vinegar
1/4 c Water

MMMMM--------------------------RESERVE-------------------------------
1/4 c Fine chopped onion
2 tb Fresh parsley
1 ts Velery seed

Boil unpeeled potatoes until tender. Do not overcook.
When cool enough to handle, peel and slice. Set aside.

Fry bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from pan and drain
on paper towels. Crumble when cool.

In same fry pan, in bacon grease, saute onions. (You
need approx. 1/2 cup bacon grease. Remove extra or add
oil to make the 1/2 cup, if needed.) Have flour, sugar,
salt, pepper, water and vinegar measured and ready while
onions are sauteing. When onions are soft, slowly add
flour and stir. Mixture will thicken slightly. Add
sugar, salt, pepper, water and vinegar. Stir for another
minute or two to thicken again. Pour mixture over sliced
potatoes and stir gently. Add the set aside ingredients
and fold gently. Serve warm.

I didn't realize I could cook back then, I did it to stay alive and a few
years later my daughter was asking me for all these recipes I used to make
when she was a kid.

I didn't have any of it written down and forgot a few of them. LOL Took me
20 more years to find a recipe for my nana's flapjacks. (Not really flap jacks not really pancake)

Yesterday I was in the grocery store and they had gnochi on sale 2 packages
for $7. (Somehow that is cheap) and I had a jar of tomato's from last year on the shelf I wanted to use up.

Onion, Garlic, olive oil, salt, oregino, parsley, salt, and the jar. Turned out
pretty good and lots of sauce left for the freezer. ;)

Head arrangements are sometimes the best. That's how I came up with this
recipe while staying at my brother's place. I was looking through the
supplies for something I could make for supper to surprise them when
they came home.
