    Can you image a floppy if I mailed it to you?
    Sorry. If I could I would. But .........

    It was worth asking. :) I'm going to run into someone one
    day that will be able to do it for me. There is a service in
    the US (RetroFloppy I think) but I'd have to mail the only
    copy of this to someone I don't know....

    I've got commodore hardware in storage, but I don't want
    to use vintage equipment that hasn't been serviced in 40 years
    because again... This is the only copy of the floppy.

    Have you asked in the Commodore or Classic Computers echo. And before
    you spend a lot of effort you really should fire up a C=64 and boot the
    disk. I've had them go bad on me just sitting in their storage sleeve
    in a disk box. I blamed it on A) cosmic radiation or B) space aliens.

    Title: Commander's Palace Seafood Gumbo
    Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 4 servings

    6 tb A-P flour
    1/2 c Shortening or lard
    6 cl Chopped garlic
    1/2 c Diced onion
    1/4 c Chopped bell pepper
    1/2 c Chopped celery
    2 lb U-40 shrimp; peeled
    8 oz Can tomato sauce
    3 qt Water
    1 lb Crab meat from claws
    1 bn Chopped Parsley
    1/2 ts Thyme
    3 Bay leaves
    8 oz Frozen okra
    1/2 pt Oysters w/liquor
    Salt & pepper

    Make a roux with the flour and shortening. Cook flour
    and shortening in a large pot over medium-high heat
    until the flour turns brown and begins to smell nutty.

    Add garlic and cook until golden brown. Add onion, bell
    pepper, and celery and cook until transparent.

    Turn heat down to low, and add shrimp and tomato sauce,
    simmer 10 minutes, stir in water, and blend well.

    Turn heat down to simmer and add all other ingredients
    except okra and oysters.

    Cook for about 30 minutes add okra, and cook until the
    okra turns bright green.

    Add oysters and cook 10 minutes longer. Serve in a soup
    bowl over steamed rice.

    NOTES: Do not use a cast iron pot to cook the soup, it
    will discolor the soup. Stainless steel, or a ceramic
    pot like Le Cruset is recommended.

    Hi Dave,

    Yes, solutions have been offered but the cost of getting the cab;e made etc, just doesn't seem worth it for one disk.

    you spend a lot of effort you really should fire up a C=64 and boot
    the disk. I've had them go bad on me just sitting in their storage
    sleeve in a disk box. I blamed it on A) cosmic radiation or B) space aliens.

    Already checked it that way and the data is in tact. :)
