Does anyone have access to the Amstrad PCW 8256 system startup disks, namely CP/M Plus and Locoscript?

I will accept backup copies. I own the disks, but they don't work, and I can show a receipt so there is no question of copyright infringement [emoji4]

Let me know how much you'd like for your troubles, plus the cost of postage to Los Angeles.

Thanks!

May be a faulty disk drive?

Do you have any other autoboot disk for the PCW? games, etc.?

The disk drive belt is a common problem with this kind of disk drive.

Sorry I got it fine, I have not got to the Post Office yet tho. I'll confirm once it is posted.... I don't expect it to cost more that 3 or 4 Euro, if it is more than that, I''ll let you decide if you want it or not before I post it.

Awesome! I'll PayPal you as soon as we have the total, plus any extra for the disks themselves and your troubles. Name your price in the PM.

I've still not got to the post office, work keeps getting in the way. My wife is not working tomorrow, so it'll be done tomorrow if I don't get there today.

Hi...
OK, Was posted yesterday, I forgot to update you, sorry 'bout that.


The postage was a Massive €1.95 so I don't think I need to bother about that. Put $5 in your favourite (non Religious) childrens charity and we'll call it quits.


Just let me know once it arrives, and confirm that it either works (or not)

Really nice of you mate...

I received the disk in good time.

Sadly it doesn't work but I believe my drive is faulty. I already replaced the belt and no joy. My next mission, find a new drive for your disk!

Thanks again!
