I might have a new floppy for you .

$35

It is supposed to be the OEM drive for the TP 365's 

What is your part number ?

Can't be done.;-{

 

 

 

 

 

>The other question - if the above doesn't work - Does anybody have a boot disk with cd rom drivers/config.sys/etc..  for the >365XD so I can fresh intall from the CDrom???

 

All you need is the Win 95 "BOOT " DISK   and a generaic ATAPI device driver  and MSCDEX.

You can get the specific one from IBM's web page but it doesn't much matter.
