Re: A7V8X.x Upgrade...Help needed

Ron, i downloaded the instructions but have hit a problem....that I don't
even think you can solve.

Because i'm in the midle of building work in my house, 99% of my computer
stuff is living in my mother in laws loft - can i heck find a floppy disk!

i've searched everywhere,nowt!.........I even tried putting the files onto
my usb memory stick,nowt....

Damn frustrating or what.....

Hmmm got an idea.....theres a small shop in town (it's an off
licence/anything shop) ...I wonder....they just might have a flopy disk i
could use....

I'm off to try it.

Dave :)
