We can't let this pass unchallenged! Personally, I found Jake to be one of the kindest, most honest and helpful people in the entire HP calculator community. There cannot be the slightest doubt that he would have offered you a solution, had you simply taken the time to ask him. It would be a glaring injustice if there remained only the slightest doubt about Jake's integrity and his truly outstanding PPC project.

Well said Giuseppe, thanks for stepping-up for Jake and saying what had to be said. I was waiting to hear from hth to understand more before commenting further, but you're right that more information isn't needed to do the right thing.

As a historian for PPC, HHC meetings and much of HP calculator history since the late 70s, Jake has devoted countless thousands of hours into conserving, preserving and publishing the information for others in this community to enjoy, and takes great pride in his video and PPC Document products, all sold at low prices. Because of that pride, he supports customer issues promptly and thoroughly, going well above and beyond expected norms to insure buyer satisfaction. If contacted, there can be no doubt Jake would have resolved the problem or refunded the price if somehow not feasible.

Hopefully, hth's intention was simply to warn other users of a similar vintage Mac that there could be media compatibility issues, and nothing more. Sometimes, comments can be taken in different ways and lead to confusion, and I hope this is just such a situation.
