U7

Friends,

I bought the original U7 a long time ago (1992 I think) in 5 1/4" floppy. Now I wanted to play it again, but I can't find this kind of floppy to copy the files. Does anybody know if EA would send me the files if I prove that I bought the game once?

Thanks!

Heh! I have an old "double drive" from an IBM. IT's a 3 1/2" and a 5 1/4" drive in a 5 1/4" size package. Got mine linked up to a linux box JUST IN CASE. That way I can mount pretty much anything. The next step (I suppose) would to be to buy a Catweasel Drive and really have a drive that'll read everything...

yeah, but I got other good games in my game collection that are on 5 1/4 and time to time I like to play them too. Just last month I installed Darklands on my computer from 11 5&1/4 disks.

A game I may actually think is a bit better then Ultima 7 *gasp*
